I think that there are many paths God can work through. Everyone who comes to God has to come through Jesus though (Even if they don't know it) since it is His death on the cross which enables our salvation. I think the best path to God is through Christianity and that the Seventh-Day Adventist church has the best doctrine out there (still problems in the doctrine and deffinitely problems in the church though) at least as far as my experience has been.

I think there is not one true faith,
the different religions just have insights into the real truth,
but none of them can claim for his religion to possess the whole truth,
so no one can say:
"I believe in Religion X and so I will be saved, but you will suffr in the eternal Fires of Hell, because you are a boloody Heathen, because you believe in Religion Y"

especially when he needs the help of his cardinals to actually breathe and pump blood.

Why 7th Day Adventism?
I myself am an agnostic Catholic (is there any other kind?), with a general disliking of Protestantism (how stereotypical of me).  |
I think rather, that out of the Christian churches Lutheran Protestantism seems to be the Best.
At least the lutheran Protestantism which we have in Germany, where it isnīt one of small protestant Sects like in America, but an established Church just like the Roman Catholics (we have around thesame numbr of Lutheran Protestans in Germany, as Roman Catholics).
Unlike Catholics, we have female Priests (although only few) and are more open to certain social things, like Gays, Contraception, oecumenicity or Divorcements for example.
Seems to be more like the things Jesus stood for, I think

The Anglican church has those same things. What do you think makes Lutheranism "better" or "more right" than Anglicanism?
(note: I'm asking about English Anglicanism and Continental Lutheranism here, not American spin-off churches). |
The last things I mentioned, i.e. that it doesnīt try to say it believers which Contraceptions they should use, that it doesnīt condemn gays, alows it Believers to Divoe and marry again
and, lst but not least that it hasnīt an Leader, who tries to hinder ecumenic movements, for example to prohibit the members to take part in a Communion with Believers of other Christian churches.
In short:
That it allows more personal freedoms for its members.
I donīt think though that Lutheranism is more "right" than Catholicism, as I mentioned before, I donīt bekliev that there is one "true" faith and every faith just sees parts of the real Truth, but none of them the whole truth.
But because of Lutheran Church being more open-minded, I think it is better to be Lutheran than to be Catholic.
Maybe I would se it different, if JP1 had lived longer and had started a Reformation of the catholic Church
As for Anglicanism, I canot say anyting about it, because I donīt know it.
If Anglicanism has the same reedoms and Openmindednes, it is also better than te catholic church.

As an altruistic unorthodox Voodoo practitioner, I can safely say... whatever works for you.
Altruism - because it's all true.
At least, that's what the believers will tell you...
