United We Stand - Divided We Fall

What do I hear that is wrong? What do I hear that is right? These questions only grow stronger in my heart. Christianity... The Church... it has all become so split now. Why do we need so many denominations? So many divisions? Now, do not get me wrong, I am not saying that belonging to a denomination is a bad thing. I mearly asking why is it neccessary to divide ourselves?
Maybe it would not bother me so much if these individual parts of christianity where not at odds with each other. The only thing that is different about us is that we have slightly different beliefs on the practices of christianity. But we all believe in the most important part right? That Jesus came down to earth, became human, and died on the cross for our sins. If we all believe that, then we should all be able to get along. Instead of dividing and arguing amongst ourselves, we need to be banding together.

So, I ask, Can we christians unite? Can we see past our differences and start making a difference in the world? Or are we just going to continue to make fools of ourselves by arguing with each other? I am afraid that the latter is what is going to happen, and I am saddened by it.
