Why there are so many denominations

[FallentoReason]

So... I got dragged into Bible study last night. We were discussing about getting revelation about what the Word means. I decided that was a good time to bring up the question of why there's so many denominations. They told me if it doesn't line up with the Word of God then they're incorrect. That's the point though... all 37 000 denominations claim it is what the Word means.

After that discussion was over, the guy next to me starts by saying, 'anyways, I wanted to raise a point about what we read tonight. I have to disagree with what you (the group leader) said'. I cringed.

EDIT: other noteworthy fails of the night:

1) Me: so did John actually die a martyr? My other friend says he did.
Guy: Yes!
Me: oh, so when he was chucked in oil that's when he died?
Guy: no, the oil didn't even burn him at all
Me: oh.. so the last attempt to kill him wasn't when he died? So he didn't die a martyr but a natural death?
Guy: yeah.
Me: *about to laugh in a jokingly manner... realises through face expression his line of argument was serious*.....
Me: *hesitation* So..... he didn't die a martyr?
Guy: well, sort of.
Me:...........................

2) Group leader: guys, we are reading the Gospels of the good news. That's what they are.
Me: *facepalm*....
