Well...almost. In just four short days, one of the most spiritual shows in the history of television, and surely the one with the deepest exploration of the complexities of religion, finally returns to the Sci-Fi Channel for its fourth and final season.
It's been almost a year since we last saw the surviving citizens of the 12 colonies of Kobol, when Tory, Sam, Galen, and Saul all discovered they were four of the final five Cylons models; when Starbuck apparently returned from the dead, Viper intace, to tell Lee Adama she had been to Earth and was going to lead everybody there; and when Gaius was hidden away by an emerging cult who apparently think he may be some kind of messiah.
There's a lot to talk about, so in the meantime, join the Beliefnet group Battlestar Galactica: Religion, Ethics, and Identity and share your thoughts for the upcoming grand finale!
Join the group now!
Plus: Are you freaking out because of the absence of Lost? Fear not! Only five more weeks til new episodes start. In the meantime, share your frustration and talk about what's happened so far with other Lost fans with this group: "Lost" in Faith
In honor of passover, we want to hear your stories of freedom. Whether it be a personal liberation, like quitting a dead-end job or ending a bad relationship, or a liberation of the soul, like when you paint, write, or do yoga. What makes you feel free, and how did you feel when you first discovered that freedom?

Good news! I know many in the community have become frustrated at being randomly logged out from your community account, thus leading to lost journal entries, forum posts, and the like.
We also are aware of the problem of clicking on links often not leading to the correct page.
We understand (and share) your frustration, but the good news is that the team of tech guys who makes all our stuff work is on the case at last, and they are in the process of a massive "fix" as we speak. Which means that by early April, any and all technical glitches will be resolved.
In the meantime, we thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for continuing to make the Beliefnet Community so wonderful!
(And a very happy Easter, Purim, or, if you like, just a very happy weekend to all of you!)
Here it is: "Fun Times at Work"
Head over to the photo's page and get your creativity spinning! Remember, post captions in the comment box below the photo and make sure they are 15 words or fewer! Check it out now!
