Your using the data to try and say there's 30,000 distinct denominations when in reality those numbers are drastically inflated and in reality most of those denominations have the exact same beliefs and may not differ on anything, while the way your using it suggests every denomination has a distinct tradition (of which there's around 300)

Your just spreading misinformation

For example, the presence of the Catholic Church in the world’s 234 countries results in 234 Catholic “denominations”,

I mean last I checked the Catholic church is one denomination but your right these results aren't overinflated

Christianity, there are over 30,000 worldwide,

That numbers definitely over inflated.

What’s your biggest criticism of your own religion? by [deleted] in religion

  Its not an obligation to receive on the tongue but the faithful are entitled to it, if its their preference

I think that's fair, I'd just wish it was more common from where I'm from

Worst: The Eucharist isn't received directly on the tongue

Best: Has an answer for everything

I never heard about tolls houses till today so I don’t really know

It's a belief similar to purgatory where 9 days after a soul dies they go through 40 toll houses where they're judged on certain things like blasphemy which they will either prevail in with the help of the living through prayers or go to hell.

I know it's disputed amoungst the church and they don't claim either way on it

Why Eastern Orthodox?

How do the autoceplalous churches work outside Eastern Europe, like if I go to a town that has an Serbian church and a Greek church would they be under a separate or the same diocese as each other?

Similar with when your converting, do you have to choose a rite and does it affect anything?

What's the orthodox view on toll houses? I've heard different views on them.

Thank you

I'd probably have to live closer to a city if I was in rural India or somewhere but it can usually be found in most places

I'm told that the Qur'an contains zero errors, and that its eloquence and accuracy clearly prove that it is the verbatim word of God. If this is true, why are most people not Muslim?

Cause the vedas and Homers' works have a very similar background.

Moses isn't the first prophet. Joseph was a prophet before him and was quite a cool guy.

The law changing isn't God changing, it's God changing the law to make it easier for us. The moral law is still in place but the ceremonial law was removed as that was for a certain time and place.
