A point worth noting in the "us vs them" dynamic as often played out: in order to define "them" in this dynamic, the other party becomes a caricature. Here, one's presented with something called "Christianity" which supposedly has all these inferior aspects. But WL hadn't been active in "Christianity" for decades, and as
JH notes, he lacked the near-omniscience needed to make such categorical assessments as bases of comparison.
Sometimes on this forum we make the same error of overgeneralization, and I've seen replies from the LC faithful, "That's not
my experience!" But the LordsRecovery.org thread is using WL's own writings as basis of the critique in question, so it's a fairly solid position.
