Inflamitory.
Unfortunately denominational division is a sure invitation for disputes that are not constructive.
There will be no denominations is heaven, but we have them here.
Perspective of Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, and others bring disputes that should not take place. In your face hostile remarks only divide us.
I have experienced this recently during some history discussion forums. What happened in the distant past is never agreed on by opposing sides.
The U.S. was founded Religious outcasts from Europe. That persecution is possibly one of the reasons we have succeeded so well as a nation. We knew instinctively what not to do, because of the abuses in Europe.
I am not apologetic about being a Christian, but do not like sectarian disputes.

I don’t either. Claiming to be the one and only true way to salvation is a good way to stir up disputes.
I see, the problem is not religion or Christianity but sectarianism. This does make sense. While I have learned much about the differences in denominations (even in the arguments) there is still far too much acrimony. That said, I am still not convinced that the debate should stop.
