5. The rot starts with what churches teach. Faith in Jesus will save you. Probably

none of their pew potatoes could say in detail what they're being saved from nor could they describe what is involved in immortality. Needless to say, I haven't heard of a church that instructs membership about Jesus's command that proof of their love for him requires them to love their neighbors and their enemies, to care for those in need. There are so many NDE reports that show why love is the currency of immortality, not faith, and Sunday schools would be much more Interesting instead of going over some biographical details that the members have read about a hundred times in gospels that can't even agree on those details. Jesus was right: 75% of those who hear his message will ignore, repel or pervert it.
