All roads do not lead to God. Well, i guess they do as far a judgment.
Matthew 7:13-14:
The Narrow Gate
13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell[a] is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it

Because not all roads lead to God. The road to God is straight and very narrow with difficult passage. All other roads are wide and easily traveled upon, going many different places, but not to God. The contradiction is in the information or the translation of the information.

Obviously, if they all contradict each other, then there may be some that are wrong. It is not politically correct to say that someone's religion may be wrong, but there is something called TRUTH. If absolute truth exists, then we should be able to discover it.
The Truth is that the Holy Bible contains about 30% prophecy, which no other book in the world, in all of history, has ever even come close to. The accuracy of the prophecies and the fulfillment can be verified through known historical documents for any with the courage to actually research it.
The Bible claims that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. If the Bible has been right on prophesy, why would we doubt that it is correct in stating that Jesus is the Way?
Check out Lee Strobel's books for a start, or another is Evidence that Demands a verdict. Those will get you started in your discovery that there may actually be one religion that shows Truth, and that His name is Jesus.

Because you are looking at religions. Religions are man made, created traditions to help people grow closer to and celebrate God. People are not perfect, and many times operate on a basis for their own personal gain. This infulences religion and causes so many various traditions that plague this earth today.
The only way to God is to have a relationship with God. Something very simple yet something most people ignore. Too busy trying to fulfill the requirements of their religion - going to church, volunteering etc.
I wouldn't say all roads lead to God - most religions seem to create more of a seperation from God instead of a closness.
Instead faith - knowning God and knowning God exists, a Divine gift - is the road to God. And people may differ minorly in their faith from each other. But not to the point of contradiction if their faith is true.

Because all roads do NOT lead to God. Jesus said that He is the way to the Father. He also said that broad and easy, is the road that leads to destruction, but straight and narrow is the path to eternal life.
Which road are you on?

G - GENERATOR
O - ORGANISER
D - DESTROYER
GOD
no one have ever seen or will see or prove the existence of god - a one figure or idol or entity.
we climb mountains because they are there and worship god because he is not.
basics of all religions is one and same - love , peace
only the ideas of love and peace changes with country , people ,
to contradict and to prove superiority is mans old habit hence there are many different gods and different roads and so humanity has failed to build one highway leading to love and peace - a true god

Not all roads lead to God. Jesus said that No one can come to the Father except by Him.

All roads do not lead to God.
The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose it's easy way. But the Gateway to Life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it." Matt. 7: 13-14
