There are Christians who might think they have a good argument for you, but the plain fact is that if the churches who claim Christianity really practiced Christ's teaching, the world would look far different than it does. So obviously, all churches are mostly under the control of evil forces bent on keeping people in their pews and outta commission. I agree completely. But what can you do? People want what they choose and there's little control a bunch of merely intellectual ideas can exert. fight on, I guess. John PS: Nice sermon! I didn't know you were a preacher?
