If you’re a “Lost” junkie like me, you’re probably wondering how on earth you can possibly hold out until the next season begins in February. Fear not–you can join Beliefnet’s new dialogue group to talk about religious themes on our favorite TV show. Here’s the description of the group:
This will be a group to discus the television show “Lost” from a religious perspective. We’ll take a look at the many Biblical allusions in the show, the overriding themes of sin and redemption, the diverse worldviews presented by the characters, and the mythology of the island. I am a Christian, so as moderator that will be my knowledge base, but members of all faiths are welcome to contribute and discuss how the show does or does not fit in the context of their religions. The dialogue group is a place for discussing Lost in the context of world religions, and it is NOT a place for preaching or attempting to convert others to your religion. Theological discussions will be confined to those that have a bearing on characters or events in “Lost.”
Interested parties can sign up for the group (which launches 8/25) here.
Afraid you’ve gotten rusty while the show’s on hiatus? Take this quiz to refresh your memory.

Hello!!! Where are you poor people getting your teachings? just like the question on the home page, Dose God want you to be rich or poor. God tells us many times I the Bible that we are to give up everything, And still 60% of you say that god wants us to be rich? Thousands of you want to beleive that “homosexual act are O’k. When it’s right there in black and white in 1st Corinthians 6:9 that your no better than thieves ,swindlers ,drunkards,adulterers,sexually immoral. It’s time that the truth is told and not what others think people want to hear. We all will be held accountable for our sins right along with the sins that we make or help other commit. I’m sure most people out there would do some research on the car they want to buy , Why wouldn’t you research the teachings that you hear. When we stand in front of God ,Telling him that sam said it was cool; is not going to work!!!
