The above was our very first pod icon, a year ago, on January 31, 2008, when the God Pod came into being.
The inspiration for the pod was Lindsey's blog, Please Help! Is There a God?
From the plethora of comments, it seemed to me that we could best have this kind of discussion in a pod.
So the Pod began as "Is there a God?"
It has grown in leaps and bounds since then and at this time of writing has 652 members, 1268 discussion threads (or conversations as they are now called), and 15,084 messages.
What has been special about it is, with occasional lapses, we have discussions about very contentious issues in a respectful and mutually listening manner. For that, I thank all the active members and moderators who share deeply and beautifully.
So, whether you are an active member, haven't visited in many a moon, or are not a member of our pod, you are invited to join the party (on my blog or on the pod)! We will be enjoying open house all weekend, I hope!
Let's put on some classical music for starters (feel free to bring your own music though!),
Pour out some Champagne
nibble some canapes
reminisce about old times, perhaps some of our early discussions, like
Continue with some current conversations like
chat with members like
or 
or... well, let's get started with the party!

So sorry about that… My life is a circus too ;-) But you know what, I’m certain I dropped by a few times to read all the deep stuff going on in dem shark-free waters :-)) And when no one is looking, I promised I shall slip into the water and have a great swim :-))
