Here's the deal. If we say that no religion but "ours" contains truth, then we are not very much different then the idiots running around calling people infidels.

Now I know this requires a little thinking that is not simply black and white and written in the Bible.

Reason, logic, rational thought. Conservatives all claim to think like this, but they get on religion threads and it all goes out the window. Really very aggravating. Please someone come fourth and debate the issue. Illuminate it better then I can Please!

There's a big difference IMO between "only my religion is the true religion" and "convert to my religion or die".

I agree and I can not say that because I have no religion, I believe it could more rightly be understood if we would recognize the difference between faith and religion.

John 14:6

I am the Way, the Truth, the Life, no one comes to the Father but through Me.

The way the greek is set up, Jesus is comparing Himself to any other religion. He is the only way to Heaven; hence Christianity is the only true religion.
