Just a little observation - Christianity does not claim
to be the only way to any 'ultimate truth'. Its the twits
who have sold the word of God who have made it look
like that.
Well, we've gotten completely off of Scientology now, but doesn't one
of them thar commandments say something like, "Thou shalt not worship
false gods before me"? This would imply that only Judaism and
Christianity are "truth", or am I reading you wrong? Also, at one
point, doesn't Christ make the assertion that only through belief in
him can you make it to heaven? (Unfortunately, I don't have a
reference for this latter thing, and my Southern Baptist friend is out
of town at the moment. He uses this reference to say that Jews are
going to Hell. I think it's all a bit outdated and silly.)
