    Wait until you hear about Christians’ conflicts with other Christians! Also a lot of Islamist terror is directed at Muslims who follow Mohammed’s teachings the wrong way.

      I think that’s more relevant. The differeny Christian denominations worship the same God, rather than Muslims and Jews

      Was flabbergasted when I found out that there was a straight up murderous hate between different sets of Christianity. You can tell the book is the perfect word of a divine being, since it spawned so many different mutually exclusive interpretations

        The vast majority of denominational split is over Church structure. The Bible isn’t really clear on how to run a Church or the very specifics (classic one: when Jesus said “this is my body”, how do we interpret that?) yet it’s quite clear over the important issues- that Jesus, who is God, died for the remission of sins.

        Honestly, God designed the bible, not so much that it would have many different interpretations, but that certain truths would be hidden from those that do not belong to Him. Just like when Jesus told parables, they weren’t understandable by everyone for the same reason.
