.... and now his followers insist that we're all different. Jesus would be pissed.

No. He told us that we would be rejected, persecuted, mocked...if He came to tell us of our oneness there would be no need to warn us of those things. What He basically told us of is our separateness and that there are two sides, believer and unbeliever. There will not be oneness until everyone belongs to one side or the other, no matter how tolerant and loving we (on both sides) try to be. We think so differently that we will never truly understand one another, no matter how hard we try.

Jesus said, "Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division;" Luke 12:51
And in Matthew 10:34, Jesus said, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."
I believe Jesus.

He came to pay for our sins and to leave us His gospel as a guide so we can go back to God after this life.

die for our sins, teach us about our oneness with the father, show us we are capable of doing all the miracles he did and many other wonderful things.

Division isn't oneness. And it is asked by Christians why we don't convert?

Jesus wants us to be as one as He is one with our Father.
In fact that's what Jesus prayed for all believers.
Jesus Prays for All Believers
20"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 25"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."
Picmybrain, Jesus said ALL who believe.
There shouldn't be any separation in Christianity.
