Are you nuts?
Why Christian?
Why not worship the sun? Or be B'hai?
And what about Christianity mandates that no one would disagree any more? Look at, say, the history of Europe and the United States since 1500. England and France were both Christian nations, but they warred for hundreds of years. The United States was supposedly founded on Christian principles, but it warred with itself. People died in Scotland as a result of the Stewart accession at the hands of the English, again, both Christian.
It's puzzling that you think is everyone was Christian, there would be no disagreements. It seems to me that the Christians have fewer disagreements with those of other faiths than they do with each other.

Sure, it would be nice for us all to agree, but impossible, unless you want to opress everybody, convert everyone to the same religion, you said chrisitanity, and that usaully takes a lot of violence and unpeaceful measures, also, when you have a bunch of people under one classification, people ar going to start to disagree no matter what, I mean, already there are sooooo many different sections of christianity and they really don't agree or work together that well, prosetant and cahtolic differences divided Europe for years. Over all, there are so many different ways to interpetate any text, the Bible in this case, that everyone has their own interpetations that can't 100% copy anyone elses, somethings you just personally believe and you have the right to believe that, the fact is, unless you abolish all rights and putthe entire world under a cruel and heartless idctatorship in which hundreds of people die a day for trying to stand up for their beliefs and use extremely forceful measures to make sure that everyone is exactly the same in every single way and has no free thoughts, disagreements will happen, if you want to see why this system doesn't work (I mean just because it's a dictatorship with extreme violence and lack of rights doesn't mean it doesn't neccesarially work) read George Orwell's book 1984 or look at Communism... Communism has doen great to the countries it has been used in, hasn't it? (Sarcastic remark in case you didn't catch on...)

God created mankind as free moral agents. He gave us the option to choose to follow Him or not. In the time of Adam and Eve, there were no Christians, no Jews, no Muslims, no eastern sects.
God chose a people to be the light of the world, namely the Hebrews to carry His message of faith, but they failed. The Muslims believe Isaac stole the birthright of Ishmael through Abraham as God's people.
The Messiah of God in the person of Jesus of Nazareth came to restore the faith of Abraham to the Hebrews but as a fulfilment of Scripture the Jews killed the Messiah, so the message of God was carried to the Gentiles (Greeks and Romans primarily) as well as into Africa (recall Simon of Cyrene, namely Ethiopia).
God still give us a choice; live by His Word or not. Satan is the originator of sin and confusion and it is he who is the cause of the strife and grief worldwide.
There are those in this world who live by God's Word and don't even know it. The best thing you can do is study your Bible, live by His word and pray for more people to get to know God and live for Him

Let's get rid of Christianity and all the rest of our religions and live our individual lives so we are not a threat to anyone's life, health, safety and property.

For me to become a christian, I would then have to actually believe in a god, devil, heaven, hell, souls, etc. - I believe in none of these things and I never will. Therefore I can never become a christian.
And anyway - if everyone on earth were exactly the same - how boring would that be?

Because there are as many opions about what it means to be a Christian as there are people who claim to be Christians. We still wouldn't get along.
Education and open mindedness are what will bring peace.

U live in a dream world. Why should we become christian? That's the point! Just so u can live peacefully with your point of view? Thats like me asking for everyone to become agnostic like myself. It just wont happen...free will is the best thing a person can ever have.

Which version of christianity? Which translation of the Bible? Which interpretation of the 10 commandments? Which interpretation of faith vs works? which interpretation between sola fide and sola scriptura?
Even if everyone were christian, there'd still be 'holy wars'.

Better yet why dont we all become atheist? The answer is: verity is what makes life interesting, what fun would it be if everybody was the same? The differences are what make people special.
