[QUOTE="Albion, post: 75104658, member: 93831"] In answer to the question posed by the OP, I'd say that the "problem" was painted too strongly. And although I can agree to the characterization of Buddhist divisions, Buddhism is quite different from Christianity, theologically speaking, which probably accounts for the perception you outlined for us. And that's just Buddhism; my understanding of other major world religions is that their divisions are more contentious than the Christian denominations. Consider the Shiites and Sunnites in Islam, for example. And that's saying nothing of the Druze, Bahai, and others that are in an even worse position vis-a-vis the major Islamic groups. [/QUOTE]
