Freepers put things colorfully? Surely you jest?
I know that there a lot of people who have some very strong opinions on religion and prayer, if they wish to take me to task for that statement then so be it.
I personally think that there are very many paths to the lord, and as long as one is faithful to the path you choose to follow then the Lords offer of redemtion is available. The Bottom line in all religions though is the acceptance of Jesus as Savior, that one is non-negotiable.
“When the author walks on to the stage the play is over. God is going to invade, all right: but what is the good of saying you are on His side then, when you see the whole natural universe melting away like a dream and something else—something it never entered your head to conceive—comes crashing in; something so beautiful to some of us and so terrible to others that none of us will have any choice left? For this time it will be God without disguise; something so overwhelming that it will strike either irresistible love or irresistible horror into every creature. It will be too late then to choose your side. There is no use saying you choose to lie down when it has become impossible to stand up. That will not be the time for choosing: it will be the time when we discover which side we really have chosen, whether we realized it before or not. Now, today, this moment, is our chance to choose the right side.”
C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity bk 2, ch. 5
