They are living proof of what I'm saying! Even if the Bible were inerrant, we are not. So not a single human being reading the Bible can have perfect understanding.
Now graduate this idea to a global level. Man is GOD's creation. And GOD has sought to communicate with man from the very beginning. However, man, being prone to error, has built errant religions around every revelatory understanding that GOD has communicated. Essentially, every religion is just another "denomination" of the Divine Reality.

You consistently look at the interaction of people and their disagreements to form your opinion. What you miss is the chance of someone having it right. If that is the case, hypothetically, you would relegate that person to equally being as wrong as the others. You are generalizing and not dealing with the actualities of, let's say, a particular verse of scripture.
I have been changed in MAJOR issues in the bible throughout the years because I make it part of my prayer, likely the most important part -- God, correct me where I am wrong. I know I have believed error and was corrected. I give lots of room for that. Hence, my signature "My thoughts, anyway...."
