Secret Ceremony of the Born Again Christians

1. Create groups on college campuses labeled 'Christian' in the generic sense, i.e. do not specifically identify yourself as an evangelical born-again sect

2. Encourage everyone to join including good Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Catholics, etc.

3. Offer plenty of non-sectarian social and religious activities, insterspersed with Bible studies that are strongly tilted in favor of an evangelical interpretation

4. Over time work over each non-evangelical member through increasingly hostile pressure to become evangelical or risk eternity in Hell.

5. Parade members who have renounced their faith before the rest of the members to encourage further defections.

6. Preach the "Five Basics of Faith", creationism, and other simplistic notions to college students who, presumably, are supposed to be advancing their knowledge of the world.

7. Banish those who after a sufficient amount of time have refused to convert to the proper form of Christianity.

8. Continue to label yourself as a generic Christian organization in order to continue to attract future recruits. After all, you need to hide your light under a bushel if its merely a penlight and you're kinda' embarrassed about how silly it looks.
