Betty J. Eadie had a near-death experience in 1973. She died and went to heaven (and later came back), she met Jesus and all her questions were answered. Later she wrote a book, "Embraced by the Light", about her experience. The following is from the book.....
"I wanted to know why there were so many churches in the world. Why didn't God give us only one church, one pure religion? The answer came to me with the purest of understanding. Each of us, I was told, is at a different level of spiritual development and understanding. Each person is therefore prepared for a different level of spiritual knowledge. All religions upon the earth are necessary because there are people who need what they teach.

As an individual raises his level of understanding about God and his own eternal progress, he might feel discontented with the teachings of his present church and seek a different philosophy or religion to fill that void. When this occurs he has reached another level of understanding and will long for further truth and knowledge, and for another opportunity to grow. And at every step of the way, these new opportunities to learn will be given.
"Having received this knowledge, I knew that we have no right to criticize any church or religion in any way. They are all precious and important in his sight. Very special people with important missions have been placed in all countries, in all religions, in every station of life, that they may touch others."

Everyone should read "Embraced by the Light". It's an awesome book, about a wonderful experience that really did happen.

I read that book. Excellent. And her explanation of why there are different religions is what I have always believed. All beliefs have value. All paths lead to the same destination.
(Of course there are plenty of those who don't believe her experience.)
