I've heard them preach that the "Only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ" and that Jews, Muslims, Buddhists etc, etc will be denied entry. Are they preaching religious discrimination and hatred. What crazy notion gave them the only key to the pearly gates ? Perhaps mometary greed in disguise?

According to them, for thousands of years before Jesus was born righteous people who died went where? To New Jersey? (sorry, people from N. Jersey)

They forgot the first two lessons in Christianity 101...
Humility and respect for others.

They also have some utterly bizarre ideas about what lets you get into heaven and what doesn't. Read the bible, it's mad crazy sometimes. Luckily my friends who are of numerous religions pretty much accept that you can get into the afterlife even if you are of another religion. Otherwise I wouldn't be friends with them.
Except for the one who is an aetheist and bitter and cynical. He pretty much thinks that if there's a hell we're all doomed to go there anyways, except there isn't one. Or heaven either.
The whole concept of heaven sort of works for me. I think that if there is one we'll end up there eventually. But thats just me.

Followers of Jesus quote the words of Jesus, just as followers of Mohammad quote Mohammad. Jesus said, "I am the way, truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." You are welcome to follow some other way. Will it get you to the Father? Jesus says no.
A follower of Jesus.

No the truth of the matter is if you TRULY believe that the best way to God (with no doubt) is to be in a diff religan than you have a chance. But (Of course ) the best way is through being a Catholic or sorts. And since when is the truth greedy?
