"Having eyes but cannot see." This is describing orthodox Christian believers. They put all their faith into their belief itself. But they care nothing about the message of the prophets. They worship the big worldly powers of wealth and finance. They care nothing about their fellow man. Just like their bank accounts, they hope to secure a future salvation that they can finally enjoy after they die *physically*, which will be based on nothing that they experience right now, because they know the darkness in their hearts will not get them there. But they are not even aware that they are in Hell at this moment. They can't see their hands in front of their faces. The only salvation is occurring now, and they are not capable of seeing the kingdom which is "in their midst".

"you must be born again" These are the words of Jesus. "Born again" in synonymous with regenerate. Actually it's everywhere in the bible. From a Christian point of view your post is absolute nonsense.
