I'm sure that phenomenon is worse in the UK but it's also growing in the US. I cringe whenever I see news programmes titled something like "Who are the Evangelicals?" It makes it seem like we're a bunch of wackos. I guess we kinda are but it's just a strange realization that even though most Americans profess to be Christian, the idea that actually believing in what the Bible says and trying to live by it is a foreign concept to many.

It's such a sweet balance. It must be possible to attain too, I mean, Jesus did it, right? Great thoughts!
