Since at least the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea) Christians have been attempting to standardize beliefs and impress these pigeon-holed concepts on other believers while at the same time assimilating pagan beliefs of native converts. The result has been a multitude of different versions of Christianity from Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe, to the Roman Catholic Church, to the Coptic Orthodox Church in Africa, to Evangelical Christianity in North America. When will Christians recognize that there is no standardization of religion and it is hypocritical to claim that one's beliefs are the "correct" beliefs for whatever reasons? Why don't more Christians practice the tolerance, prudence, and pacifism of Jesus Christ, whom they love so dear, or is it just that the christian voices that are heard are the most radical?
