 Well, don't forget that this falls in line with Dave's anti-Catholic rhetoric.  Funny how he thinks that the Catholic Church, the Christian Church started by St. Peter himself, somehow isn't "true" Christianity.

 Depending on how you structure them, there are at least three, six, 10, or 12 main types of "Christianity". Sub-divide them further and you get more than 200 Christian denominations in the USA alone, and around 45,000 around the world - all with their own slightly different beliefs, and interpretations and versions of the Bible.
 And that's without including Judaism, which is based on the same supposed origins and has similar semi-separate divisions.

 Yes, you are correct.  The point I was trying to make was that St. Peter was charged by Jesus to start what was the original Christian Church (the term Catholic meaning "universal").  I'm also aware that in the early stages of this set-up, there were people who wanted to carry on the tenets and beliefs of Judaism...and just add the acknowledgement that Jesus Christ is the messiah they had been waiting for.
 Dave, or anyone else for that matter, making comments regarding the Catholic Church that go beyond disagreements on interpretation or beliefs is being prejudicial; how can the first Christian Church not be a "true" Christian Church?  Because the Catholic Church doesn't use the KJV Bible?  That line of thinking is crazy talk.

*ALL* religions are "crazy talk". They're all just a load of complete bovine excrement that should be well past their use-by-date in a supposed intelligent modern society. The fact that any of them still exist is beyond any sensible comprehension.
But if fools want to believe such nonsense preached at them by greedy con-men in the 'church', then that's up to them, as long as they do not go around trying to "convert" nor causing problems for any other people. The fact that so many wars and deaths have been caused by these supposed "good" people fighting about whose mythical superbeing is better than someone else's mythical superbeing, simply proves that the human race has still not reached the heights of real intelligence yet. Especially when you consider most silly religions have a specific rule about not harming others!!

Calling the NIV Bible, as Dave called it, "Satanic, Anti-Christian, Humanist" is just as bad. That kind of logic is mind blowing.
 It's like in my line of work...high school band director.  In my state, there are two popular schools of thought regarding ensemble tuning and balance of characteristic sounds.  They are both equally valid approaches to getting a band to play with good sounds.  However, when you apply for a job, many schools will ask which approach you prefer to teach.  If you respond with the "wrong" method, you don't get the job.
