One of these is a 2.5 hour video on how magicians prove the existence of demons. Haven't looked too much into it but it seems like all the tricks it showed have explanations over the Internet.
Christianity is so complex because it is a political beast. For a long time it was both a major european state (in the guise of the papal states), and a tool used by other major states to pacify populations and quell discontent among their populaces (one of the main reasons why France and Germany were so willing to allow so many of their men off despite it weakening their military base so much was because most of that military power was used in a way which hurt the central government).
