Your knowledge of Evangelical Christianity is zilch.

Says you. I grew up in the church (both large and small) and I know what's going on. Only about 10% - 20% of people who consider themselves born again Christians really are.

I know one girl that has been "born again" about 10 different times. Each time she feels that this is the real one. It's been about 6 months so it's probably time for another one.

Most people who go to church truly believe in God but only in a cultural way. Ask them about the concept of the trinity or the role of the Holy Spirit and they'll look at you with glazed over eyes.

Like I said, you know zilch about Evangelical Christianity. BTW, I am a theologian and have worked on two major Bible translations.

ROTF! So true. My daughter went to a Baptist camp every year in Oklahoma. She used to tell me the very same thing. They got born again over and over because it wore off during the school year.
