Have you ever converted to a different religion?

There is an old saying(well the old people around me used to say this)-differences in religion divides churches to multiply congregations....which means if you look at the history of different churches you will find that many congregations originally started at the same church under one leader and over time/and various issues-(over the leader/doctrines/etc.) congregations divided to become two different churches.

I've never heard that before, and that's a great quote. I personally think another reason for so many churches (and once again, just my lil' ol' opinion) is that many times, people can't (or won't) sit under leadership. Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians. It's always easy to say what you would do if "I was the Pastor." Leading people is hard work - even harder many times in the church.
