You probably had a lot of good points to be made I am sure those here would agree, but when they hit this part they are probably scratching their heads and writing you off as just ranting. The crack about colored people just makes this "point" all the more absurd. All races are welcome and ALL ages are welcome
For starters, what is "real church"? Are you saying that youth and kids can't possibly have "real church" unless they are surrounded by adults? Most churches I know of have services where it is specialized for kids and youth AND where ALL the members, adults and kids, are together in "real church"

Church programs are offered and marketed on the premise that the family will be strengthened thereby... never mind the growing number of families who are abandoning church because they feel these programs are DIVIDING their families even more.

The growing number of famlies? Who did the poll and where can I find the results? Why don't those families just ignore the programs and go to the all included services most churches have?

The world by its ungodly anti-family culture teaches youth and adults to SEPARATE, to view each other as strange and alien... and the modern church perpetuates that cursed deception, while all the time passing out flyers saying "your family needs the church"....

Really? You know early Pentecostal believers very often had services where women were on one side and men on the other? Billy Sunday started the Sunday School paradigm a long time ago...are you saying he was influenced by an ungodly anti-family culture that views each other as strange and alien?
The rest of what you posted I either agreed, did not understand your point or did not understand why you made it an issue of THE modern Church and not rather an issue of many modern churches. Not all churches are preaching a prosperity gospel
