Over this past weekend, some friends and I were discussing how divided Christianity is today, evidenced by all the Christian denominations that have been created over the eons. One of the fellows in our group told us this story so I thought I’d share it.
There was a guy stranded for quite a long time on a deserted island. When he was rescued, it was noticed that he had built four buildings on the island. Curious, he was asked what they were for. He said, “This building here has been my home. The smaller one over there is my outhouse. That third one over there is the church I attend.” One of his rescuers asked, "What is that fourth building for?" He said, “Oh yes. That’s the church I used to attend.”
