The concept is pretty deep and at five years in, I'm a real newbie :) One thing that I love about Orthodoxy IS the fact that one can choose to study it and study it and they will never run out of stuff to study. For me personally, when I was involved with "born again" evangelicalism, it was like, "OK, I accept JC as my savior...now what?" And to be frank, there wasn't much else there. I adore Orthodoxy for its simultanous simplicty and depth. One thing I've found on other boards...when I discuss the different thoughts Orthoxy has on things like salvation and original sin, a lot of people who have never even heard of it write things like, "Well that's what I believed all along!" so it does seem to reach back to sort of a basic inborn faith as well.
