Look at how varied some denominations are. Some will allow a homosexual to lead a church while others will not let a known gay person through the door. They all use the same Bible but use their own reason to decide what parts to emphasize and how to properly interpret scripture. It's not like some supernatural being is communicating them to tell them exactly what to do. If some Christians here believe that is the case then feel free to provide evidence of your communication with this being.
Yes, thank goodness! Christianity is highly fractured which is why the USA never became a theocracy. Even with all the checks and balances the founding architects put into our constitution, the religious right could have taken control - if they were unified. But thankfully, THIS prevailed.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
