Even Avg Joe said pantheism is silly.

"...there are many sects of "Christianity" (1000's) that can be studied each with its "story" and all this depends on more ancient ones, from anthropological pov." "The World Christian Database (WCD) represents the core data from the World Christian Encyclopedia (WCE) and World Christian Trends (WCT). This "Database" is the product of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary located near Boston, Massachusetts. "The WCD includes detailed information on 34,000 Christian denominations and on religions in every country of the world. Extensive data are available on 238 countries and 13,000 ethnolinguistic peoples, as well as data on 7,000 cities and 3,000 provinces. Statistics in the WCD represent a significant update of the data published in WCE/WCT in 2001." To be fair, only about 9000 of the Christian sects are considered to be Protestant. But still...34,000 is a long way from the ONE TRUE CHURCH idea! ;-)
