i apologize in advance if this offends anyone. it's what i believe, so, i tend to think about it and talk about it. feel free to disagree, but please don't be ugly in your disagreement.
i thought about something on the way home from work: assuming that christianity isn't the only way, how do you know which religions (for lack of a be...tter term) lead to God?
i mean, they can't all lead to God, can they?
what about the religion of the gentiles that worshiped molech? molech demanded that his servant sacrifice their infants to him. is that really a way to God? is this even remotely consistent with what you imagine God to be?
what about hindu worshipers in india that believe they have to perform brutal physical acts in order to worship their gods? like having heavy burdens literally hooked into the skin of their backs and dragging them to a temple, as a part of worship?
what about christian science, which teaches that medical care is wrong, and that one should just pray and have enough faith, resulting in children not getting the medical care they need, people suffering pain, disease, deformity and even death unnecessarily? is that from God? does that lead to God?
if you answered "no" for any of these religions, why? what do you base your assessment on? you can't base it on the bible, because if you do, you have to deal with Jesus saying he is the only way and then you're right back to only one way.
so you base it on your opinion, and what feels right to you? well, molech felt right to a lot of people and they ended up with dead kids. how we feel doesn't really go that far.
