I already see it now. Fundamentalists Christians will quote Gospel and say Jesus is the only way. If there were any fundamentalist Muslims left they would say there is one God allah.
Fundamentalist atheists are about to tell me there is no God.
How come there are some people who say there is more than one path to God?

Religion and opinion are things Christians do not get.

I think people say there's more than one path to God because it's a fluffier and easier belief. People don't want to believe that they sin and that's a problem they need to fix, because they happen to like sinning and are more concerned with temporary pleasure that's easy to see than eternal life that they can't see yet. So they make up excuses that make them feel better like this, "I'm a pretty good person. I'll probably go to heaven. I haven't killed anyone." The argument is a weak one because not doing the worst possible thing is not all you need to get to heaven.
Either Jesus needed to die on a cross for the forgiveness of my sins or he didn't. I don't think he would have done that if it wasn't necessary.
Yes or no. Believe it or don't. But the widespread illogical opinion that multiple contradicting beliefs can be true at the same time, that I disagree with.

If is Faith (what you need), with-out proof, don't you think you have found the way?,
A way?, thou, is different to the word path, God way is a little wider? as a matter of fact his way, is the wides of all way's, Jesus is the way, the path, is what you can choose, to get closer to, or by HIM, (God), such path is within your own heart, through the same path, then into your mind, and if you can continue and in your own way, without, and /or avoiding to become entirely physical, then you are in the path, to HIM, been such the way, you will which to develop, and if you sub-exist, or survived in your own efforts, God will be there to help you. We all have a path to follow, and if you which to use your own path to follow HIM, that is your freedom, don't mix your own path with ones, of others, trying to be more original in your efforts, because within our own path's there are not great efforts, he is any and everywhere, just think a bit, you may be in your path again, and not in my, though path's can be cross, and we can all cross each other within our own path, only God will decide how, when were and if there is the need for anyone to cross path's with some one else.

Yes there are many paths to achieve God, to go nearer closer to God. As all water flows towards ocean either by short way or long way thus all religions goes towards God. God must our goal our aim or object. The difference in all religion is only that some paths are difficult to follow or some are easier to follow. Some will take short distance or some will take long distance to achieve God. The object is one and same. Everybody has to go to the father of Jesus the God or you can named him as Allah if your Muslim or Ishwar, Bhagwan if you are Hindu. There is no difference at all. We should respect all religion as they teaches us to worship for the same and one God who created this universe, me, you, Jesus, Muhammad, and many other God's sons, messengers, and and god's people. Tell me what is difference in Christians, Muslims and Hindus. When we born and came out first reaction was we cry. Isn't it? What was our identity when we born? Only human being. God didn't give us any name, religion, or such like any identity. God is for all and all of us. He is our father, creator and we are his children. We are of his family members brothers and sister. So we must respect each other. God will happy only If you respect all his sons, messengers and his peoples. May God bless you all.

We would like for the path to God to be accessed by everone and Christ said that God wants all to come to him. Christ also said that the only way is through belief in him and his sacrifice for us to make us acceptable to God. All religions cannot be right. I believe that the bible is the word of God and that Christ is the son of God and brought a new covenant through which all could be saved by accepting Christ as their savior.

Many have struggled with this same issue. If there is no absolute truth then you have no foundation from which to build on .
for example when you build a house you want something that will hold firm no matter what. you don't build it on something that will cause the house to fall. It is the same with truth. We can choose religion and we will never have a sure foundation but when we have Jesus Christ and His Word as our foundation we will stand.

If God really is God then why would he have to justify his methods for you? Most people try to bend the rules because they cant see out of their little perspectives. The fact is, that in order for God to truely be God, then this whole life, earth, existance thing is about him, not us. People want it to be about them, its our nature. The bible says "Seek and you will find" God aint hiding, but he does want you to look, its his game to, so find him and find out the rules, cause when they talk about the "Fear of God" well... there is a reason for that! ;) Good luck on your quest, May God find you and reveal to you his will, and his love.

Depends on who you are. Remember that there are many religions with their own views. You can mess up and still get to God. Yes, atheists will tell you there is no God but don't allow their views to destroy your own.

There are probably as many paths to God as there are people.

Because religion is an opinion. Like politics, sports teams, etc. You have your opinions and beliefs as to which is best.
But in the end, its all opinion as to what you find to be most likely.

For any given individual there is but one path, but there are as many paths as there are people.
