If you believed that the only way out of a burning building was the way you exited, would you shout for others to come to that way or would you let them try to find their own way out?
Christians believe there is only one way. To not tell others is to condemn them to die. But you cannot force anyone, you can merely tell them. The choice must be made individually.
Sorry if trying to tell someone the only way to survive is offensive to you, but that is my firm belief and one you cannot change by wishing it were not so.

If you believed that the only way out of a burning building was the way you exited What if there are multiple exits out of a burning building? What if a person is already close to an exit? Would you threaten him to come towards your exit or else!! There..that is a more appropriate analogy
(PS: I disagree that Hindus would consider Prophet Mohammed to be a way to God. With his message of violence, rape and banditry, Mohammed is a certain path to hell)

Christians believe in one God, Hindus too believe in one God, but Hindus also believe that God is capable of creating infinite number of manifestations of itself and hence the pantheism.
The point is, you and I both pray to the same God who we address using different names. So why should my prayers be invalidated only because I choose to call HIM by a different name. Jehovah or Shiva what does it matter? They both are the same God.
The concept of God did not begin with Jesus and wont end with it. Throughout space and time different people will continue praying to God (the same God) using different names.
