I sort af agree only things have evolved with religions now to the point where people aren't actually arguing over the same things anymore. They're actually saying that the other person is wrong outrightly because each interpretation of religion has gotten so far down it's paticular blinkered path that they can't see the way that they agrue is totally against everthing they're supposed to preach (love and tolerance and all that stuff) and they absolutely can't see the ironies at all.

I agree. I read a short Wiccan story that describes this perfectly:
A couple of covens get together to celebrate Yule. One coven is feminist, while the other is feminine.
Two members are sitting by the fire after the rituals are done, and begin discussing their beliefs. They soon start arguing about what the Goddess looks like. The feminist member says, "The Goddess is muscular and tall, she doesn't shave her arm pits or legs, and she strides next to the God matching him stride for stride!" The feminine member says, "The Goddess is lithe and airy, her hair is like liquid gold, and she embraces the God as her lover!"
Both are adamant in their belief, so they decide to find another way to solve their argument. They agree to go walking in solitude in the surrounding forest, and to wait for the Goddess to approach them and show them her true form.
Each walks for a while, and then gradually hears the sound of singing coming from a glade. Knowing it is the Goddess, they run towards it. The feminist member sees the Goddess as she believes her to be: strong, bold, daring, while the feminine member sees her as she believes her to be: loving, beautiful, delicate. The Goddess reaches out and they rush to embrace her, but at the last moment she disappears and they find themselves holding one another. All that remains is the sound of fading laughter...

What you are describing can happen between denominations within a religion, but there are too many beliefs that are just completely different regardless of what words are used. Every belief does not lead to God.
May God Bless you.

Sounds like the five blind men and the elephant. But if you will look closely at various religious beliefs, you will find that they are mutually exclusive. Islam and Christianity cannot both be true. Either Christ died for our sins as Christians believe, or he didn't die at all, as Muslims believe.

Exactly! Its the ego that gets lost in the detail, the ego needs to make absolute truth from this relative experience in order to feel secure in the world.
