This question is geared specifically towards Christians, but anyone is free to weigh in if they wish.
Do you believe identifying and resolving denominational disputes is necessary for the advancement of Christianity? Why or why not?

I think that the conversations should be had, but I look more at the indivigual christian not the group calective. I don't look at the groups thoughts at large because its more inportent to me that I have a good position. I havn't really much thought about this question from the prospective of christianity as a hole and from the idea of the betterment in that sinario. Mainly because I think that I have strayed away from large hypithectical questions about what or what would not be better. What I can do in the mess of the world to make an inpact as a christian is ware I wish to find derection.
I realise I know little compared to what all is true, I try to think, and the one thought I can no longer be swaid on is that god is very real. That being the case I will try to live in accordence to the way christ intends for us to act. Time to give up the weel.

Do you think a large scale Christian reunion would be instrumental in fascilitating conversions?

I think that depending on how it went down and the conclution posably a united cherch could be good even in general as it could make people who have slipped away actualy stop justifying their own actions with christianity or at least grately reduce it at a large skale. Like I said its all contextualy dependent. I would like to see christianity take back the u.s at large and become actualy exseptable to actualy hold to our values for real and not have to worry of the backlash because of the progress that away from god we have seen in the west over the last 50 years, witch is something we have spoken about a bit.

I agree with you that we, as Christians, should collectively work towards restoring Christianity's place in the public square. But the question then becomes, how would we prevent sectarian disputes from undermining the movement from within? This is something Christian nationalists like yourself need to consider before you even make a move.

The divide among different Christian groups and even those some or most don't consider Christian at all has led to way to many fights and no one ever seems to come out happy in the end. If we could stop it all within the circle, then could we all unite and bring more in? And I mean sure there are some in the groups that don't like how things are run in that group but sometimes it's worth looking past the one individual and instead at the group's ideas.

The issue is that no one can agree on what those ideas even are.

So I guess the next question is how do we do that?

I don't see that happening without a Christian reunification, and I don't think that's realistic whatsoever.

Sadly, I don't think so either.

We had enough of abrahamic religions dominating the world. First christianity in the middle ages, burning and murdering people for bizarre reasons, inquisition etc. Nowadays, aggressive islam going the same way.
The sixth type of schizophrenia, called organized schizophrenia, morbus religio abrahamicus, or abrahamic religions in the simple terms, should be treated as a mass delusion.
