Absolutely, Beth. As quoted by the xtian writer, Origen, the second century Greco-Roman writer Celsus said, c 180 AD:
"Christians, needless to say, utterly detest one another; they slander each other constantly with the vilest forms of abuse, and cannot come to any sort of agreement in their teaching. Each sect brands its own, fills the head of its own with deceitful nonsense...".
