The Water is Wide

 We were watching "Only Connect", the best quiz show of all time, last night.  If you don't know what OC is, it's a British quiz show whose gimmick is that you have to identify and name the connections between up to four objects.   It's on YouTube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIett4m3UV0 Try it. 

The list of items was (approximately; it was a paraphrase)

4.  Took a moral inventory
3.  Made a decision to turn our lives over to God
2.  Came to believe in God

Nobody -- of six highly-educated very-intelligent Britons -- recognized what this was a list of.

Over in the U.S., the answer is inescapable.
