Actually listening to us wouldn't help Christians wave away the reasons why their numbers are declining.

That is interesting. I didn't realize that, even now, I was still operating under the assumption that there had been an "Original Christianity".

If there ever was, it's been lost to history. It fragmented pretty early on, which is why the "heresies" were ultimately stamped out under Constantine. It was preventing them from achieving real power.

It fragmented pretty early on

During the lifetimes of the people who originally wrote the John and Paul gospels.
