Nothing of the sort. Any one of these new introductions has its own logic. But whatever you do, don't poke at it. Just take it in, nice and smooth, and you're on to the next level.

Generally speaking, I think and I hope that most Christians would know better than to take the LC bait.
But what the LC seeks to provide are ear-tickling teachings that seemingly highlight 'missed' points which are supposedly ignored by the majority of Christians.
This is the kind of stuff that can fool people. It's not really the kind of logic that would fool most people, but it only takes a small set of supporters to get the ball in motion.
And I think that a lot of it is related to some kind of underlying insecurity. The LC preys upon those who don't know what to believe, or those who are developing their own belief systems (like college students). Can the problem be stopped? It depends. Only if people can ask the kinds of questions which need to be asked.
