A better question might be why there are any individual sects at all. There is only one Word (supposedly) so there should only be one religion. Either God screwed up dictating the Word to humanity (impossible if God is what is claimed of him) or people screwed up recording and relating the Word (something God should have foreseen). Either way, no religion can be trusted to be correct. But then there is faith which puts the Great Pumpkin on equal standing as Jesus.
Why are we atheists, again?
The fact that there are so many sects seems to go against the spirit of this verse
Quote:1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace--as in all the congregations of the Lord's people.
Christians have killed one another over the different interpretations of their sacred book. That seems pretty disorderly to me.
