Why are there so many different Christian denominations?

I was talking with my sister about how Christianity is unique in that there is a wide range of denominations and beliefs. The downside though, is that those different beliefs tend to clash. I've observed arguments between Christians of different denominations all because one has a totally different belief system and it's like a foreign language.

In my opinion, I think it all originated from one and then split up by people who didn't believe in some aspects of the original religion. Those who lead a group of people may have made up their own beliefs and traditions. This is what I have noticed in my own religion.
