I have been that way many times. The intelligent person will tell you
"The best, most direct way to get to Washington from Richmond is to take
Interstate 95 North. There are a few other ways there too." However, only
the ignorant person will suggest "Actually, I think Interstate 95 South
will take you there too" -- anyone who followed that road would soon find
himself in Miami, but nowhere near Washington DC. There are undoubtedly many
valid paths, but to say "All paths lead to GOD" as you have in more than one
case is foolish, and may get you to Miami, but not to the spiritual world.

I think that 2+2=5. I also think that 2+2=4. Both seem like correct answers to
me. However, my friend the math major refuses to accept my views on this issue.
She says that 2+2=4 and there's no other way about it. Because I accept those
other answers, but the followers of that other answer don't accept my views only
shows the ignorance and narrowmindedness of those other answers.
