Do you realize in identifying the ‘dogma’, intolerance and hostility of the many evil faces of christianity, you introduce four gross assumptions without any rational basis? How do you think this conduct establishes your apparent ‘position’ as morally or even intellectually superior? How do you think these trivial statistics support your assumptions? What exactly do you think any of this ‘proves’? This is why I have no sympathy for aggressive evangelical atheists. Your tactics, conduct and wishful assumptions are always precisely of the very quality you claim to oppose.

“Each and every one of these denominations believes that all other denominations are wrong and that it is only their denomination that is going to heaven.”
Wrong, there are only a handful out of the over 30,000 that hold to this belief.

It would be interesting to see an accurate matrix to see which ones agree “sufficiently” with others. I suspect a lot of the independent churches, while not affiliated with any others, are mostly the same.

You forgot all the other religions, along with their gods.
Every one of them is the One True Church ™. What’s your problem?

And each one has probably attempted to bring up Pascal’s wager if they ran into an atheist

Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 1 Cor. 1: 20. Why do we have all these churches? Because we all like our itching ears scratched. Today we have a variety of churches for a variety of people and for various reasons. O.K. we feel comfortable in our church it feel perfect to us. These are their church not Gods’.
If I say all denominations are wrong. Then I would be saying baptisms of water and fire is a false teaching. If I say only water baptism is important and the other is not or if I say baptism of fire is important and the other is not. Then I’m choosing the one that I believe is fully right. I truly believe in sound doctrine so of course I will say both baptism of water and fire makes the sound doctrine complete. Even Jesus was water baptized. Are we greater than him? I ‘m not a pastor, yet I baptized my wife in the ocean. In revelation the scriptures does not say Jesus opened the pastors book he opened the book of life. Did I need a pastor present? Who are greater pastors or Christ? We just need another believer to baptize us.
The great apostles were so concerned that their pastoral disciples guard the doctrinal integrity of their first-century churches. They believed that our salvation is predestine. For example the Baptise may have gone too far with once saved is always saved teaching and not enough with the gifts of the spirits which the apostles also believed. Let me just say the apostles sound docterine was truly complete.
Yes practice makes perfect. Yet how long do we need to wait until they get it perfect? I did not practice the gifts I waited for it. The gifts were encouraged but practice of the gifts was not stopped. Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 1 Cor.14: 1-40
If someone comes to my house to visit me, yet they reject my wife where is my wife to go? If we except God then we need to love all three. Just as a husband and wife is one so is God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit is one. There are three that testify the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three agree1John 5:6-12.
I see many best answers that are based on what they like to here not on what is the most truthful. How can we say others are hypocrites when we know we are doing the same?
