I have come across some who really seem to think there is no other option, but let me ask this.
According to http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html
Christianity only has a mere 2.1 billion followers throughout the world.
In comparrison, the world population is over 6 billion.
If you are of the mindset that christianity is the ONLY way, then the other 2/3 of the world is wrong?
Isn't this a bit arrogant?

I didn't say that arrogance was just a fault of christians, however I wanted to post a question to christians, so I put the statistics for them.

No, it's VERY arrogant.
I also find it extremely arrogant the way some Christians lecture Jews about their own religion! They insist that the new testament 'completes' the old testament, or Tanakh. But no Jew believes this. Christians can't seem to just relax and accept that we all believe in different faiths.

Every religion believes itself to be the True Faith above all
others. Such arrogance isn't exclusive to Christians.

Truth is Truth.
"10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."(Acts 4:10-12)

Of course Christianity is not the only religion. It is the only religion which claims that Christ is God. No other religion believes this - all other religions most emphatically deny this.

Its because its scares its followers into thinking they might go to hell. So then people say its the only religion thinking thats good...
I dunno. But I do think that Christians that make these websites are just generally arrogant about their belief.

Not if you believe God himself stated this...and since he did(thou shall not have any other gods before me, I am the way and the truth)...then i guess 2/3ds of the pop are in error. It is only arrogant if it wasn`t true.

Christianity isn't the only religion, it the only religion that believes in a merciful God who bore your punishment for you.

Christian means follower of Christ.
It about Christ not religion.

I am not of that mindset and certainly do not think Christianity is supposed to be THE ONLY RELIGION.

Jesus says there is only one way.Those that don't believe him certainly won't go to heaven.
You can bank on it,arrogant or not.
