[QUOTE="public hermit, post: 75104870, member: 421854"] I agree that Christians seem to have sharper divisions. I also agree that there is not much warrant for it. There's a lot of history that has created divisions that have stuck. Others have mentioned some of it. I don't think your impression is way off. It is bad, and it's probably one of the great weaknesses of Christianity, historically speaking. The NT scriptures are so clear that we are to be united. And I believe if Christians were, it would change the world (more than it already has). Christian unity in love is one of the primary ways we were given to show that Christ is our Lord (John 13:35). But, is that what we do? Nope. We fuss and fight over doctrine, practice, and who gets wetter when being baptized. It's truly something to bemoan. Doxastic humility is not a virtue with which many Christians are familiar. So, that would be a good place to start, I think. [/QUOTE]
