A recent tabulation concluded that there are 10 main religions and some 10,000 sects. Of these, some 6,000 exist in Africa, 1,200 in the United States, and hundreds in other lands.
Many factors have contributed to the development of new religious groups. Some have said that the various religions all represent different ways of presenting religious truth. But a comparison of their teachings and practices with the Bible indicates, rather, that the diversity of religions is because people have become followers of men instead of listening to God. It is noteworthy that, to a large extent, teachings they hold in common, but that differ from the Bible, originated in ancient Babylon.

Why, there is not even one denimonation. Even in wikipedia... not one denimonation. Denimonations are odd things, in fact there is no definition of the word 'denimonation' at all.

hundreds in the US alone.
none of them can agree on the bible, what it says, or how it is to be worshiped.
nothing could be more ridiculous than christianity and the bible. they cannot even agree among themselves!!!
and get this: go to a book store or a christian bibe store...you'll find OVER 100 different versions of the bible, each one different, each one claiming to be the correct word of god -- so much for the 'word of god'!!!
how silly it all is!!! and they all point at the other ones and say "mine is right, theirs is wrong"
