I didn't read through the whole article, but I agree that many Christians aren't good ambassadors of Christ. However, if certain people in a given church are used as an excuse not to go to that church, then you would never go to church, because there is no perfect church, since all churches are inhabited by less-than-perfect people. There are some churches, that are full of the people discussed in the article though (smile and shake your hand, and then talk down about you when you go sit somewhere; I've visited those kinds of churches), so they are best avoided. I'm sorry if you've had bad experiences with Christians in the past, but I hope you will give Christianity another chance. If you visit a church that is mostly comprised of people who try to live up to Christ's ideals, I think you will have a different conclusion.
You say there's no perfect church, yet Christ requires a spotless bride. My friend, the church, as you know it, isn't the church at all. His true children do not go to church but ARE the church, 24/7.
The Scriptures refer to your places of worship as "high places" and those in these systems of men bear the mark of Cain (mark of the beast) already.
It may have served you better had you been diligent enough to read it in full. At the very least, it serves to answer the points that you are trying to make.
One last thing that may help explain my position:

No church that I've ever walked into expresses the unadulterated ideals of Christ. Paul warned us about these "churches" and the heresies being pushed.
As I said, there is no perfect church. If you find one, let me know :) But seriously, it is dangerous to try to be a "good Christian" independent of other Christians and a church of fellow believers. There are dangers of being around "fake Christians" yes, but if you look, I'm sure you can find a church that is comprised of good, honest, true believers who strive to be like Christ, and hopefully led by a pastor who preaches the unadulterated word of God. My best to you.
Fren, I understand your thought process because I've been there but I need to go by the Word and counsel of God. I'm not here to convince or attempt to sway. Only the Lord can move the heart accordingly. I'm only here to inform.
I will say that I greatly appreciate your candor and the fact that we can have this discussion in a civil manner. The typical response here to my content has always been met with venom and vehemence by the Christian community.
Despite our differences on the matter, I think we can both agree on the following:
"In the end, God wins "
Take care.
If God is truly leading you in a path that avoids conventional churches, then who am I to say you are wrong? Take care, and see you on the other side :)
