God likes diversity - we are all Gods children and we are all one. There is truth in all major religions because they are all based on the teachings of great incarnations. The problem is that people created religions out of these teachings and the original teachings and messages became distorted over time. It was never the intention of these incarnations to have people create religions out of their teachings. They all spoke specific parts of the truth based upon specific periods of time and based upon mans spiritual stage of development. You need to respect all major religions but belong to none of them. Belonging to a specific religion will only give you a small distorted picture of the truth and will also condition you to the point where it becomes very difficult for you to accept any other point of view. God is everywhere and beyond our limited understanding. In order to find God you have to remember that you are the spirit - you are not of this mind, body, ego or conditionings - you have to become the spirit. You are not going to find God by reading books or scripture - you will find it in the silence during meditation. The first step is receiving your self realization. You can receive it while sitting at home in front of your computer. Visit www.sahajayoga.com and click on the link entitled self realization. Check out Sahaja Yoga - meditation classes are always free. Its truly amazing - the real deal !

From what prospective are you looking from? Lets use this example, you are at the bottom a mountain and there are many trails on the mountain. How do you know which one goes to the top? Now lets add something, a person at the bottom with you that says I can help you get to the top I know the way. What is your first question? Mine would be how do you know? And this person says I been their and have came to show the people right trail and there is only one. And that person also said make sure you follow the trail marked in red. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that you and I can find that trail to top of the mounting. Of all different religion, Christ is only one that "I Am the Way, Truth and Life". No other person can say those words and mean it. If there were others who said the same then you can argue that threre are more than one way to God. if you want hear more check out this page http://www.rzim.org/radio/archives.php?p=JT&v=detail&id=784
Actions do speak louder than words. But humans are not gods thus mistakes always happens. Christ is the only model worth following

Well, I for one am not going to hit you between the eyes with Christian dogma. I firmly believe that the teachings of Jesus (including his examples) indicate that ALL organized religion is wrong.
And, therein lies the seed of my answer. There are many religions, all headed by men/women who like to hear themselves talk and who are full of the power of getting to tell others how to think/live.
God tells us that the only way to find him is to look for him in your heart. He does not live in ANY building - he lives in the heart (which is also where we state we keep our love - for self, others, animals, etc.).
Jesus said that after he'd died, another "comforter" (the Holy Spirit) would come which would fascilitate direct communication with God. That, and the written record of God's instructions on living life, are the only guides we're supposed to need.
Your point about diversity is a good one. I'd like to show you that it is in complete agreement with what I've said. The only things that matter to God are the ones recorded in the written records of his will - The Torah, The New Testament, and the Koran. Yes, all 3 together - think of them as a series of 3 books on the same story. The story is not complete if any of the books are left out. But, as for diversity - everything else (not specifically addressed in those books) is up to us.

God likes diversity in some ways (like variances in how people look, etc), but not in the way he wants people to worship him. A few things to consider are 1) Satan has polluted most worship with falsehoods; 2) many people have chosen to deviate from God's standards and this is demonstrated in their forms of worship; and 3) most people don't actually know who God is (most think he's either a triune god or Jesus, but according to scripture his name is Jehovah and Jesus is his son). Because of his having created everything, he has the right to tell us how he wants to be worshipped.

The media,the government,schools all say PC diversity.The problem is the demand acceptance of what they want accepted.They promote hate, mocking and persecution of those they don't want in their "diversity" (especially christians and the only true God).
Jesus said :
I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the father but by me.

GODMt 28:19 ( the name of the Father and of the Son(Jesus) and of the Holy Spirit)
Ge 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Ps 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
Isa 45:21And there is no God apart from me,a righteous God and a Savior;there is none but me.
Jer 10:10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King.
Jn 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.
1Co 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
Eph 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
Eph 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
4. “One Lord” refers to the Lord Jesus Christ. His lordship over believers brings into existence the unity of the church.
5. “One faith” refers to the body of truth called the apostles’ doctrine (see Acts 2:42). When this is denied, there are divisions. There must be substance to form an adhesion of believers. This substance is correct doctrine.
6. “One baptism” has reference to the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is real baptism. Ritual baptism is by water. Water baptism is a symbol of the real baptism of the Holy Spirit by which believers are actually made one.
7. “One God and Father of all” refers to God’s fatherhood of believers. Since there is only one Father, He is not the Father of unbelievers. Sonship can come only through Christ. The unity of believers produces a sharp distinction between believers and unbelievers. He is Father of all who are His by regeneration.

If you mean the Christian God then yes there's only one way.
But if you mean the CREATOR of all things then there are many ways.
But both means finding that part of yourself that was made from the Creators body your soul.
Even in Paganism and Christianity the charge is . If you cannot find me within yourself You will not find me without. Both the Goddess and Jesus "the Christ" have stated this basic way.

Religions claim they are the Correct one and the others are false. There cant be multiple Gods. You cant have God of Abraham and Zeus at the same time. You cant believe in heaven and in reincarnation at the same time. Come on........

There can be only one way to find God, because there's only one TRUE God, the Lord Jesus Christ. HE, HIMSELF said;
King James Version: John Chapter 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The one way to God is Jesus Christ.
It is the world who wants diversity.
