Default What do Christians agree on?

Not much. I was trying to think of things that Christians agree on, and I found that I was having some difficulty. So I decided to make a list of things they don't agree on (mostly in the realm of morals and behaviour). Comments and additions will be appreciated!

Killing during war

yes: http://www.monksofadoration.org/justwar.html
No: http://www.quaker.org.uk/iraq/bymstate.html

Woman preachers:

no: http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/sbs777/vital/women.html

Among individual denominations, they believe that anyone not like them will go to hell, but that's not universal. Some even condemn other Xians to hell. :boohoo:

I think they can all agree on the type of wood and lighter fluid to use...

Other than that? Nothing, they can't even all agree which books to burn.:banghead:

Well of course you are, silly. You're just indoctrinated into a lot of different cults, all with disparate beliefs.

They all agree that that Yeshua fellow was pretty important, they just can't agree on who exactly he was.

Another good example, relativism.

So which is it? Are We indoctrinated and can't think for ourselves or are we a diverse group of people with a broad range of opinions? Some one has said we are all robots but robots that belong to different cults.
So let's see if anyone can guess what I believe on these subjects If I tell you what kind of church I attend. I go to a conservative non-denominational Church. Any takers?
