Does the Church accurately present Christianity?

To put down Christianity and to deny that there is a God, non believers use disasters of one kind or another to say that there is no God or would not like to serve your God.
Do you think that the church has done a good job of educating people about satans place on earth and free will and choices?As God does not do evil, cannot do evil.

This is a very good question!

How about some reader's comments before I have a say.

OK. No one is game enough to comment, so I'll have a go.

I have to admit to being pretty frustrated with much of the Church today.

It presents a God who is out of date and out of touch. (Some of the robes, for example, and other fancy stuff worn by some Church leaders makes me cringe!) And by and large, it doesn't accurately present God to the community.

It seems to me that many Christians feel they have to defend and protect God for some reason (as if he's not big enough to do this for himself). The Church is so intent on teaching God as a God of love, that they end up portraying him as wishy washy, and set people up for huge disappointments when he doesn't 'answer their prayers' the way they expect.
Christians would do better to be accurate, honest and complete about who God really is. But of course that would mean reading the whole Bible, and not too many can be bothered doing that. (Some sarcasm here)

So to answer your question: Do you think the Church has done a good job etc....

My short answer is...

No.

Sorry...
