"All roads lead to Rome" was a popular saying, used by many to illustrate the point that there are many paths, however, there is only one destination. The clear calm voice within, being the path and, God as Spirit, being that destination. I realize that you will disagree, perhaps vehemently/violently as other Christians formerly have, with my belief that Jesus did not come to earth to establish Christianity. That task was left to Saul/Paul and others similarly motivated. I left Christianity behind [and later rejected many of its tenets and precepts], initially because of their insistence of enforcing the concept of Christianity's exclusive access to God, [or whatever other name the Creator might be called, in any particular past, present, or future society.] I don't think that one must have a knowledge of Jesus as "our personal savior." And saved from what? God has no error to amend, so what original sin did God commit, that would enable us to even have an ability to commit ours?
Thanks for writing, ______.
Only question: you now believe there is only one destination, no matter how we get there. How do you know this is true?

I was writing to be in communication with my fellow human beings. I am
not required to explain or justify my beliefs, simply because you
possess the ability to ask. Your transparent attempt at provocation is
so typical of the techniques, used by those who feel threatened by
another's lack of desire to experience fear, about the things they
themselves have concern. Do not contact me again for any reason or
anything at all. IS THAT CLEAR?
I was tempted to send back a response; several came to mind. . .
A) Yes!
B) Is that a rhetorical question?
C) OK, but you wrote to me first.
. . .But I decided not to since our office address is on the Probe home page and/or this person could mailbomb us.<grin>
