First you could have just replied to my comment directly, secondly I didn't say no detail, I said small amount of detail, a small amount of detail doesn't mean the detail isn't clear nor vague, when I said small amount of detail I meant that it doesn't excplicity say that all you have to do, the Bible has been changed throughout history, and was written after Christ had ascended back into heaven. The church has changed its beliefs numerous times, and not all denominations, including non-denominational Christianity follow the Bible word for word. Also I was previously aware of that passage, it is a clear piece, but it's one sentence

To continue my previous comment, religions such as Islam and Judaism don't have these different sects believing different thing as the religions themselves go into great detail about the beliefs, Non-Denominational Christianity, does not, often times Non-Denominational Churches are made because people don't share similar beliefs to a Denomination or to allow different people of different beliefs within a religion to worship without having to find a church to serve all of their beliefs, if a religion doesn't go into great detail about something or doesnt explicitly define something as true or false, than there isn't really anything to stop people from believing different things or disagreeing with one another.

Not necessarily because not all religions define how salvation is determined, Christianity does not explicitly define this, it only defines basic beliefs, a reason for the creation of Non-Denominational choices. Christianity as a whole only defines what the Bible says, one such thing is how Jesus was crucified by Pontius Pilate and the Romans, the Bible never says how salvation shall be achieved by man, and Christianity doesn't go further into this, the Denominations however do, each denomination goes further into what they believe will achieve them salvation, as no Holy Text actually gives any explicit evidence or statement to how salvation shall be achieved, and as such that is left to individual people to decide, the Denominations are groups of people with similar beliefs in how to go further into the basic beliefs of a religion. However I can't justify it completely as there are many different religions go into various different depths of the beliefs of that religion

@toothpastetast, you have a point about Wikipedia, so here are some more sources
http://catholicbridge.com/catholic/are_catholics_christian.php
http://christianity.about.com/od/denominations/p/catholicprofile.htm
Also I never said Catholicism and Protestantism weren't vastly different, I am not trying to argue that. The ONLY point I am arguing it that they aren't different Religions, they are Denominations of Christianity

@Guest, what proof and sources can you give me that tell me that they are completely different Religions, unlike toothpastetaste who is giving me stuff supported with evidence, you are telling me stuff that could be considered opinion, acting like it's a proven fact, and not giving any evidence to support your claim. You think your right then prove it, and if you can't prove it then you are wrong.

They are the same religion, it's a denomination of a religion. Catholism is a PART of Christianity, not the other way around, if you are Catholic you are Christian, but being Christian doesn't make you Catholic, the Protestant Reformation did not split it into different Religions, but different Denominations! Protestants are Christian, Catholics are Christian, they are Denominations of a Religion! I learned this in Middle School, High School, different Church events I have done, the Priest at my Church talked about it today! Catholism is NOT a Religion, it is a Denomination OF a Religion! A Denomination is not a separate Relgion but a group within a Religion that have certain beliefs.
Edit 1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholicism
Edit 2: "The Catholic Church, the largest Christian denomination with roughly 1.2 billion members—slightly over half of all Christians worldwide—is the world's second largest religious denomination after Sunni Islam"
Those are proof I'm right

I never said anything relating to the first part of your comment, and I never said Christianity wasn't an offshoot of Judaism or Catholism being an offshoot of Christianity. What I'm saying is Judaism is a Religion, Christianity is a Religion, Catholism is not a Religion, it is a Denomination, a part of a Religion with certain beliefs, your religion gives beliefs, the Denomination of which you are a part is what goes into further detail and such. Catholism, Methodism, Baptist, all of those are denominations, I am not arguing with you about which came from which, it may seem like it, my point was supposed to be that Hitler WAS Christian, as he was Catholic, and Catholism is PART of Christianity, not separate from it. I was also debating where you said "Catholics and Christians are as different as Catholics and Jews", because that isn't true, Catholics believe what Christians believe, because Catholism is part of Christianity. A denomination isn't separate from religion but a part of it.

Guest, you realize that Catholicism is a denomination of Christianity, they aren't separate religions, therefore the part at the beginning about Catholics and Christians being as different as Catholics and Jews is incorrect because you cannot compare an entire religion to a denomination of a religion, especially for the first statement, where you compared Catholics to Christians, you were comparing Christianity to a denomination of ITSELF. If you are Catholic you are Christian you cannot be Catholic and not be Christian, as Catholicism is not a religion it is a denomination within a religion. So Hitler, being Catholic, is therefore Christian.

You can't outrun most bears, it's actually "safer" to fight a Bear because if it attacks and you struggle it may think of you as a threat and back off, under no circumstances should you run from a Bear, Bears can outrun Humans by quite a lot.

To add my part it
1. Its Transubstantiation, it isn't literally in all forms the body and blood of Christ, but neither is it a symbol of it
2. Assume it was literal, what makes you think if it can turn into Blood that the Blood can't turn back into Wine

You know there is such a thing as a knife right, they could just cut off the belt, defeating the purpose. Making this belt isn't going to deter rapists, it's just going to make them end up carrying knives.

@boredatwork, Not being friends with someone doesn't make them an enemy, I know plenty of people that I'm not friends with but I don't hate.

Just because someone isn't your friend doesn't mean you hate them, just like not hating someone doesn't make them your friend. Just because two people break up and don't remain friends that doesn't mean they hate each other.
