As long as we have Delicate's word that there are no important points of contention between the various Christian sects, that Christians never killed each other over doctrinal differences (all such conflicts were really about other things with a bit of Christian window dressing -- nothing more), that no one becomes Christian because they want to avoid hell (they really like that salvation story, but hell doesn't figure in their motivation) . . . fuck it, as long as we have Delicate's word that he speaks authoritatively on behalf of two millennia of Christians, then what's the problem?

He's right. We're stunningly ignorant of his religion. All we ever needed to do was to consult him and ignore all the rest.
