All Religions Are a Pathway to God

 I mentioned several days ago that with the latest off the cuff pontification from Pope Francis, I wondered whether he even believed in Christ.  Today at the American Thinker Eric Utter brings up the same incident in a post entitled Pope Francis implies all religions are equivalent.

The preposterously progressive pontiff said, “Every religion is a way to arrive at God. There are different languages to arrive at God, but God is God for all. And how is God God for all? We are all sons and daughters of God. But my god is more important than your god, is that true?” He added, “There is only one God and each of us has a language to arrive at God. Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, they are different paths.” Huh?

Is the Hindu god Brahma the same as Sikhism’s Waheguru, and Islam’s Allah? What about Buddhism, which doesn’t really have a God? Are all these gods, and the non-god truly somehow the same? Is Christianity really no better than frisbeetarianism? Are Rastafarians truly on par with Jewish people? Should we take the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as seriously as we take, say, Islam? Is Raelism simply a “different path” to the same God? The Church of Maradona worships soccer star Diego Maradona as if he were a god. This is obviously a different path to a different god. Should it be held in precisely the same regard and esteem as the mainline religions? Is a religion promising men the reward of 72 servile virgins in paradise for "martyring" themselves against innocent people no different than one that does not?

While our illustrious pope is galivanting all over the world promoting religions other than the one he supposedly leads, bishops and priests of the Roman church are still bitter that Martin Luther left the church and created a schism. Except Martin Luther didn't leave; he was excommunicated. He was kicked out of the church because the then pope didn't want to give up unbiblical practices such as granting indulgences for money. Rome created the schism, and Rome has yet to heal it.

One wonders, does the pope think being Lutheran is a pathway to God?
