I'm fairly certain Jesus <i>does</i> visit all those 30,000+ plus denominations every day; at least every place where two or more are gathered in his name.

I don't think he likes all of them. It's not the liturgy or lack thereof; he could care less about those things per se. It's the authenticity of the people there. Are they participating in the forms of worship because they're pursuing a closer connection to God? Or are they doing it because their church is right and all other churches are wrong? Jesus is no fan of spiritual arrogance; the parable of the Pharisee and publican comes to mind. Those who come to worship with a sense of "Christ have mercy" are the folks he delights in and can work with, whatever their stripe.
