Talking I'd like to go on record as saying that.....

I now recognize
catholicism as a real denomination.

Though I dont agree with everthing that it teaches .
It still shares the same fundamental idea that christ died for our sins,
That there is one God who exists as three persons,etc.

The reason that I'm posting this is because of this statement I made quite
a while back.

I don't count catholicism.
I'd also like go on record as saying that I am now a non - denominational Christian.
This basicly means that I don't share all beliefs with one Christian church.

Christianity is complicated. It has more factions than Linux distros. =/

It's gonna be hard to get to the very core of Christianity. Even by reading the Bible which over the years has been distorted many times by greedy clergymen. Like Ace said, it's pretty complex.

Except the Linux distros haven't had a war over which one is the one true Linux distro.

Also:

A brief history of Christianity by me:

Jewish sect
Underground sect
Bunch of loosely connected sects
Legalized
Argues which one is right; guy in pointy hat in Rome decides
Some conferences
Guys in East split from guys in West over which guys in pointy hats are the true guys in pointy hats
Guys in Europe fought over desert
Moved guy in pointy hat to France
Two guys in pointy hats
Moved guy in pointy hat to Italy
Sponsored some art
Cranky German nailed complaints on a door
Cranky French guy moved to Geneva and talked about predestination
Horny England guy wants a divorce and leaves pointy hatted guy's authority
Multiple wars involving pointy-hat guys and supporters with horny english guy and cranky Germans
Pointy-hat guys try to counter reformation
Pointy hat guys suppress science and say Galileo was a heretic
Cranky protestants in New World separate from England and create secular government
Cranky protestants in New World have multiple "Awakenings" and divide into subsects
Czar takes over Eastern Church, does not wear a pointy hat
Arguments in 20th century over interpretation
Europe generally leaves church
Pointy hat guys think its a good idea to speak the native languages in mass (Vatican II)
Another new world "Awakening" that's all about fundamental and literal interpretations
