That it's an ideational strawman to advance an argument, can be seen in how it's selectively applied. The boogeyman, here labeled "Christianity", is fallen, devilish, and degraded. On the contrary, "God sees no iniquity in the church" that is created by the argument. Lee told us to "forgive the messy kitchen" of the LC, ut the messy kitchen of "Christianity" was never forgiven, or overlooked; on the contrary it was raised again and again, and paraded before the assembly.
I could go on and on. I'll never forget the testimony from the Full-Time Training Taipei, from the so-called New Move: "If Christianity does it, then it's hierarchy, but if we do it, it's not hierarchy." That was one of the hand-picked cadre of the trainers speaking, to the astonishment of American elders and co-workers who were being re-educated.
