Last I read, studies put the number of Christian sects in the world at 33,000 plus; all of them think they are more right and, therefore, more worthy of salvation than their brothers. I have found, in discussing scripture with Christian leaders around me, most of them read their scripture, they believe in it, and seemingly do not understand what they read. They read, and yet they do not see. Perhaps it's because they put all of their unwavering faith in what they believe is the 'Word of God' on earth, that contradictory, vague, open to interpretation, 1500 page user's guide for the Ten Commandments - the Bible. I've always wondered why ten very easy to understand commandments, from an omnipotent God incapable of making mistakes, had to be clarified by the ignorant children, created by said God, to whom this very same omnipotent God aimed those commandments. What God really meant to say was... Were they second guessing God's perfection, or looking for loopholes in God's laws? We all know how much mankind loves a loophole, and who better than those in control of religious fervor to find loopholes to ensure their control continues unabated.
