Say it until you're blue in your smug, self-satisfied face - that doesn't make it true. You may even be stupid/ill-informed/isolated from reality enough to believe it, but people who actually have had contact with multiple brands of christianity know that to be horse-sh*t.
Sure - the differences between denominations and interpretations of christianity are becoming less and less significant, but that's only because religion is becoming less and less relevant in civilized society. With some luck - soon it will be nothing more than a wacky hobby for old people and then no one will give a sh*t about the particularities of it.
