Theism is literally childish

There have been wars fought over these 'nuances' ...

You think believing in a 6,000 to 10,000 year old earth and an earth billions of years old in which humans have been around for the tiniest part of that history a small nuance ?  One deals with actual original sin, the other uses it as a allegory.

Or That some Christians believe that we don't have free will is a small nuance?, almost all the arguments  on here where god's love is called to question relies on free will, while other Christians dispose of the idea all together.  Then you get full  preterism that denies Jesus will return, and that the resurrection will be physical, on a physical earth. Or pre-tribulationist perhaps who have very different views on the second coming.

Even then you are still limiting it to the thousands of religions that use the bible as their source that you call Christian, what about those that still believe in Jesus and use the bible but generally would not be called Christians by the mainstream. ?

And that's just believers !!  Bring in non believers who have no obligation to believe the bible at all and it becomes not subjective, but downright unbelievable.

Yes, people fight over small differences. Always have, always will. 

I addressed the fact that there are fringe groups and exceptions, and was careful to use words like "almost", mostly", rather than absolutes. Taking Genesis as literal vs allegory is a small difference (so small that the Church actually allows a belief in either interpretation), because the underlying belief, the important part, is the same - that God is the Father of creation, that human beings have a tendency to sin. I've never met or ever even heard of a Christian denomination who doesn't believe in free will, but the fact that they may exist doesn't negate my point.

 Fair enough CL
