It makes perfect sense. If they wait until you understand, you may choose not to convert. If you convert first, you will accept whatever they tell you as the truth.

I don't know a lot about the religious situation in US, but I have the impression that various Born-again Christian Sects are very influential. My feeling is that they can be a bit on the dogmatic side. I believe some of them are funding efforts in UK to change the teaching of creation/evolution in our schools.


There never was nothing.
