Well, Camilo101, Ven-Dono has a point in the "personalized Gods." There's many different denominations of Christianity; Jehovah's Witnesses, Protestants, Calvinists, Luthereans, Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists..
And let's not forget the Catholics! People who need money and an older priest in gaudy clothing and a big hat to proclaim their faithfullness! I giggle at it all, because if people are such great Christians, then why don't they worship as Paul and the other early Christians did? IN A TENT. Nope, sorry; Christianity would lose converts, since most people expect to be in an air-conditioned/heated building.
Ergo, religion's become fluffy and soft. Simon Peter was crucified upside and down and burned alive for his sin, back when the pagan Romans were epic; I don't see anything near that caliber these days.
But yes, if Christianity didn't "idolize" it's version of God, then there wouldn't BE all these denominations. It'd be just one single church/religion, not many.
