But what would Christianity be *without* lies and marketing?

I think not really. One of the great things about christianity (not biased ebcause I'm an athiest) is that because of all the different sects, there's something for everyone. If you prefer to worship and pray at home with friends, then you become a quaker or a shaker; if you want to worship in a nice big church, then maybe catholocism is the way to go. It's all about versitility. Without it people can be driven away because it doesn't suit them.

Absolutely! That is how organisations such as Bruderhoff, Comunidas de Jesu and Jesus Fellowship were formed. All have the intention of measuring themselves against the teachings of Jesus and His Apostles.

gasp,
Jesus righted things back them, Himself. He is the only one who can do it again. You are right, there are a lot of lies and marketing, but I do NOT want the government to begin to be active in attacking churches. Jesus will do the healing and the eradicating, I'll praise Him for it too.

Great question!
Please consider these tidbits:
Jews for Jesus = Vegetarians for Hamburgers
God? He or She?
Church? Christianity? Jesus? God? Dying?
What is the "Imacculate Conception"?
Does Imacculate Conception have anything to do with "VIRGIN BIRTH"?
Google "Imacculate Conception" and in less than a minute you will discover that the IC is NOT the "Virgin Birth".
What else do you falsely believe?
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Can Gods die?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
No Eternal sacrifice, big deal for a day!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
Life after death is like virginity after childbirth.
If the flesh of Jesus died, what was seen walking and talking on Sunday?
If you believe this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to believe it too to validate you.
Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.
Believing and not thinking is like choosing to be lost.
P.S.

Actually, the rates of growth in the earliest church far exceed that of today. If that is what you call marketing, you might not want to go back to the early church. They did, after all, take over the Roman Empire.

First you have to get them to go back and view the history of Christianity with a skeptical eye. That will never happen.

You are confusing false Christianity with true Christianity

If they did that, then they would admitting that they have been wrong all this time, and they don't want people seeing through the deceit.
