Remember the "Jesus Freak" years? I have many recollections of students at my university constantly asking if you were saved. Blech. Save me from the savers. Or saviors. For the most part those of us that were not saved were pretty polite about dismissing the attempts. My hunch is that people are not so polite anymore. I think calling the demise of the evangelical in 10 years is optimistic. Especially if our economy stays in the toilet.
