Are you truly asserting that if christianity is so schismatic and fractured that core beliefs vary between individual christians as opposed to denominations, that your position is somehow improved? Despite your position relying on the precise opposite claim?

And if we were to expand that number into the millions- which is what you're asking here- it is your belief that this helps you somehow?

So essentially, you've entered into this discussion in bad faith and are willing to accuse me of lying about discussions I've had with others despite not knowing me. Good to know.
Incidentally, are you going to come out and tell us how one differentiates core beliefs from peripheral ones, or will that remain the fairytale you tell yourself to define a problem out of existence just as dishonestly as how you're conducting this conversation?
