Religion and Spirituality

Is religion relevant to today's society? Is there a God - or perhaps more than one? Does man have a soul? What happens after death? How do scientific advances impact on religious belief? How does spirituality manifest itself?

Some guidelines, to encourage good debate:

• Please use rational argument to back up your statements;
• Quoting from religious texts is encouraged, but please back up these quotes with your own views if asked
• Use hyperlinks to relevant scientific evidence or religious authorities - make sure you link to authority sites though
• Respect other's points of view
• Answer any objections raised
