Isnt that a bit underhanded to say that there are only two options when according to http://www.religioustolerance.org there are over 300 religions besides christianity?

You have "Fee-Will" to choose your Religion, whether it be Christianity or not
The choice is yours to make
God is not going to beat you in the head (yet) for a bad decision...LOL

Christianity is not a religion. That is where people make their mistakes grouping Christianity into a religious cult. I have never coerced anyone into accepting Jesus as their savior. Here we have one person grouping all Christians into being radicals and coercing others into Christianity.
Christianity is a relationship with God and Jesus. The majority of Christians went through traumatic experiences before becoming "Born Again" Christians. All Christians were sinners before becoming"born Again Christians. I know that when I accepted Christ my eyes were opened to the truth. when I talk to my Christian friends they tell me the same thing; Christians are living testimonies to Gods existence and miracles. The two options are all God is offering, if you want something else talk to Lucifer he will tell you whatever you want to hear and then when you believe him and die your soul will be in hell.

Doesn't matter what religious tolerance says. I am not in a RELIGION! There are only two options because God has said it. God is the maker of all. God gave humanity free will to make a choice to love him and be with him because we want to, or to not. He will not force us to love him, therefore, he gave free will to decide. The only time a Christian would, or should, say anything against a religion is if they are not going by what God says. Very simple really.

So you noticed that too??? Due to mans wicked heart & old sin nature, we all want to be Special. And there are many wolves in sheep skins out there who operate in churches today under the influence of the "Power Lust Complex". That is to say, they in their own minds, think they are better than you and are using the "Color of Christianity" really Religion, to try and control you. Christ established NO CHURCH no matter how the Catholics try to twist Scripture, it aint so!!!! The theme of all Scripture is mans sinful condition in rebellion to Gods Word & how God extends UNMERITED GRACE to mankind through Christs Work on the cross so that we may be saved from eternal condemnation in Hell. The mechanisim is simple. Repent (confess to God, NOT ANYONE ELSE!) of your sins & Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be Saved!!! Today as before, churches want you to do Works to get to Heaven. This is False Doctrine for there is nothing you can do greater than Christs work to get to heaven!!! Don't fall for it. John

I don't know about you but I can't coerce anyone to do anything and I surely haven't thrown out any religions especially if you claim there are 300 non christian religions.

i am a muslim i have a good answer for this one,. it is not just christians who are guilty of this. when you say god gives free will it is true of corse how ever a person who has a set of beliefs and has a religious text that the believe is the word of god and god is commanding them to be a person of which ever faith it is they belong to and you do not follow their belief system then you will go to hell. or etc..... who ever you are what ever you believe in your mind that is the only right way to live and all other ways and beliefs are wrong. it is the human mind set.

Yes God gave us all the free will to accept Him or not! But other so called gods are false gods and they will not get you to Heaven. Only through Jesus Christ Can you go to heaven

You are talking about two different things. Freewil to choose any religion, and acceptance of any other religion.
You can have freewill to drink a horrid thing like Coca cola, but actualy know that Pepsi is best.
So it's different to choose a religion, than it is to think that they all have to be equal.

For example, if you are not Catholic, then you are nothing, therefore all other religions are bogus and are classified as false Gods, because freewill exists. God allows the possibility of sin to exist, including in believing in false religions.

God gave us a free will. As we have a lot of choices here on earth, what comes to eternity there is only two choices: hell and heaven.
If you do not believe in hell and heaven, then do not worry. But if you do believe in them, then you know that Jesus is the way. Seek Him. : )
