do you know how PATHETICALLY EASY it is to create ones own christian denomination?

Question

there are a few steps to follow though, but here's basicly how it can go:

create your religion's name (this one might be hard because of all the different already COPYRIGHTED names of denominations that are already out there) find a topic you feel strongly for/against (let's take in for example, the legalization of marijuana. thankfully the homework for this was already dug up on this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhvnhYjPQNd7zvCJfDNkuNzsy6IX?qid=1006052323183 thank you dark philosopher...) then you gather a few friends that agree with you, & meet regularly, & lay out more plans on how your church should be ran (this isn't as hard as it sounds, history has already been proved that you can have a completely different sect, but only 1 disagreement with another sect.) now comes the hard part, LEGAL WORK....

....[running outta space]....

...LEGAL WORK...
honestly, i don't know much about legal work, i suppose it'll be complex, & full of lawyers, but i could be wrong on THIS point of the statement


in conclusion, this is quite possibly the biggest flaw of christianity. any fool can manipulate the holy scripts to say what THEY want it to say. & thus they use it to chastise any one who doesn't think the same way they do, leading to so many people to HATE the whole religion when at it's core value, it's only about peace & love & jews & gentiles all working together to stay out of HELL!

Answer 1

You're beginning with the false premise that it's ok to be divided into denominations to begin with. Denominations are not Christian as they are not biblical. 1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

What you're observing are the outer court believers who aren't even measured, being aligned with the unbelievers of the world. Revelation 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

True Christianity is such: Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Answer 2

Perhaps it's easy for people to call themselves Christians, but there is still One True Church. The Fathers of the Church and all the bishops and representatives of the Church who met in the Ecumenical Councils were fighting precisely against the kind of phenomenon you've mentioned.

Answer 3

operating a short Google search for on "denominations of the KKK" I pronounced by technique of scrolling down a sentence which seems to respond to the question. They settle for all denominations of Christianity. i did not actual visit the area in spite of the undeniable fact that, because I do merely not care to.
