You misidentify the causative agent as Christianity, but it is the psychological makeup of humanity itself that is at fault.
Did phet claim it was Christianity as the cause or simply stated that the various groups within Christianity do not?
By the way various denimubatiins in Canada did join together to form the United Church of Canada which i believe is the largest Protestant denomination in Canada.

Thank you for pointing that out. I didn't say christianity was the cause. I see the same thing in the Buddhist world. For example, one day I was talking with the abbot of the Thai Buddhist temple I often attended here in the States. I asked him if he had ever been to Tibet, and he had. I asked him what his impressions were, and he said that half the time he had no idea what the monks were doing. Now some of that is a language problem, but anyone who has been in a Theravada Buddhist temple, and a Zen temple, and a Mahayana temple knows that what goes on in each is drastically different.
The problem I see in christianity is a bit more disturbing, however. For a while when I lived in Colorado Springs I visited several different churches just to see how different they were. One of the churches I visited was the First Congregational Church (loved the architecture). As I sat there taking it all (both in terms of architecture and the service), I couldn't help but wonder why a Methodist or a Presbyterian couldn't comfortably worship here. Why all the separation over minor, petty things. It's not a very good example that Jesus' flock can't worship together on a regular basis.
Do you think there is truly an eternal pit of fire or is there more of a "life review" of feeling what all their victims felt and eventual constant reincarnation until soul perfection?
I think the latter. There is no heaven/hell paradigm or judgment. There's just seeing our life in review and learning how we hurt others and experiencing their hurt. That's our punishment. This is what hundreds of people who have had these so-called NDE's say. Myself, I"m starting to disbelieve they're even real.
