Christians have never wholly agreed on everything. Just look at the history of Christianity...
So they continued in the religious rituals of the former Roman religions during the transition to a fully established church that laid down firmer dogmas. How is it that the very fact that Christians have never and can never agree on even some of the simplest of beliefs, transubstantiation for example, is overlooked as a major religious hole?
No one religion has any unified sect, yet many contend they have the divine word of God.
- People interpret it differently, fine, that shouldn't happen with a divine gospel.
- Morals and societal norms have evolved over society, religious, divine morals shouldn't change over time
- There are contradictory statements, differing accounts, and widely varying degrees of consensus on every aspect of the texts, again, divine providence isn't open to interpretation, it is the way of the universe supposedly. Science is railed on by theists, then used as a tool to try to prove their points only to find it always fails. Replace science with what it really is, observation, reason, and logic, and you see why its so frustrating to continually find yourself short.
Everyone has their own interpretation of the bible and God, and their relationship with the spiritual realm....well all that really implies is no one has any idea what is going on and we make stuff up that makes us feel better. No religion has lasted in a pure form for more than a few decades, and never unified, in the history of mankind, why doesn't this problem bug any theists out there?
My religion is the understanding of my world. My god is the energy that underlies it all. My worship is my constant endeavor to unravel the mysteries of my religion.
