Entirely too much. Humans can't even agree upon how to approach a stop sign. How much more difficult it must be to agree upon the attributes and desires of an entity who cannot be known at all.

Simple guideline applied; the '2 or more witnesses' principle; (as compared to 1 witness; false god; oneself?). The scriptural old testamnent is the law of Moses not Genesis-Malachi. (Can one have the law of Moses before Moses was born)? Is that idea too complicated to
start for people in this life?

Good point! The problem is that there is over 3,000 different religions teaching different things, some with a lot of man made doctrines, one religion differs from the other. If its confusing to you think why do you receive so many different answers in the religion section? It's confusing to the Christians also. it's like throwing dice to talk about religion!

Christians have many divisions among themselves.
There are many differences in dogma.
For example, it is common among Protestants to believe the Mary and Joseph had children after the birth of Jesus Christ, and that their names are listed in the Gospels. Catholics and Orthodox reject that claim, preferring to believe that Mary remained virginal until her death and that the children named in the Gospels were most likely those Joseph had from a previous marriage.
There are very many differences among Christians. One of the biggest differences today, that really matters in context, is the rift between preterists and End Times believers. Preterists believe that most of the activity described in the Book of Revelations is behind us, and that we are in some kind of post apocalyptic world; End Timers believe that it is all coming in the near future and we have to prepare ourselves for it.

Please do not try to push off the confusion that atheists have to others. Try for once to accept the responsibility for your actions.
Remember the word ‘atheist’ is nothing but a politically correct term for one God calls a fool. “The fool has said in his heart, there is no God.”

The Bible is the final authority on all matters. That is God's definition of everything.
Tell your message to those that don't agree with the Bible. If they reject the Bible as the final authority, they're likely not Christians anyway.

Jeus put it this way in Matthew 7:21-23 (NIV) when he spoke about the way so called Christians would be:
" 21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'"
You see...these people are calling on the Lord....they are sincere....but they are not doing God's will.....That is why you will not realize your request.

For that very reason, God left us His Word, the Holy Bible. You can read it and choose for yourself. After all, we all will be judged by it. So, I really believe that we should know what it says.

I'm with you. If Christians would stop nagging eachother about stupid pointless theology points and just agree on what they believe, things wouldn't be so confusing!
Makes me almost ashamed to be one.
