3 - My tagline is just a corollary to the fact that of the 30,000 Protestant denominations, 29,999 must be wrong on some point of theology. I believe that is something even Protestants agree with.
I could say that you have no idea whereof you speak. I could say that there are 30,000 varieties of Cafetaria Catholics.
I will be satisfied if you merely list 500 Protestant denominations. It won't even be necessary to identify the significant theological differences. Is that fair?

You could, but it would be wrong. (Say, does threatening to use personal invective constitute abuse?)
World Christian Encyclopedia (2nd Ed., 2001), published by Oxford University Press, lists 33,830 denominations within Christianity. Subtract the Catholic Church and the Eastern churches, and you are left with about 33,800 other churches, those descended from the Protestant Reformation. I rounded down to 30,000 because I thought the resulting comparison with 29,999 was simpler to comprehend. (Say, is that arithmetic abuse?)
