My point is that there is plenty of room to disagree about the particular doctine of a church without resorting to the publishing of lies, part truths etc. What does that prove?

I heard a catholic bishop from sweden say that there were three things you should do to learn about another religion. 1. Go directly to that religion to learn about it. 2. Compare your worst against their best. 3. Leave room in your heart for holy envy. While I don't totally agree with his formula I do agree with the underlying premise of being humble and teachable.

By the way, thanks for your thoughts on this!

The only way to learn the truth and to learn about the nature of God, his plan of salvation, and his plan for your life, is to fellowship with Him and read the Holy Scriptures. I suggest you start with the book of John. The bible is so simple you have to have help to misunderstand it. Satan has been working though the millenia to deceive religious institutions and has been very effective. All of the Christian denominations were started by powerful men of God with revelation from God's word, but after their deaths the churches with their names have become houses of tradition that have totally forgotten the lives and beliefs of the men that founded them. Jesus said "Follow me", not a church. And the only way you can get to know Jesus and learn to follow him is to read the book, for he said "In the volume of the book if is written of me", from Genesis to Revelation. And he warned in Revelation that the man would be cursed that subtracted or added to the prophecies of that scripture.
