It is all too sickening to hear people – theists and atheists alike – speak about how there are “SO MANY” people claiming to have the one true religion and/or the “correct” version of Christianity…
As if this is proof that the Gospel of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ must be false…!
What kind of pathetic damnable logic is this?!?
It is like being in a burning building with one exit:
Everybody in the building is frantically running a different direction to get out.
A few are actually coming in through the one exit to direct people the One Way out…
But meanwhile, you sit in the middle of the building with your nose in the air, chest puffed out, arms crossed, smirking and mocking, “Look at all the fools running different ways - obviously, there isn’t an exit at all.”
…and the fire consumes you.
Shall I give you some hotdogs to roast and eat before you roast?

Why wouldn't you look at the "Fire Escape" Route, provided by the Creator of the building?

Again:
This is not MY way.
This is not MY fire escape policy.
It is God's Word that is the way, the truth, and the life.

I understand your frustration-
As lovers of Truth we hate every false way and a multitude of opinions does not a truth make.
However, I sincerely pray for those blind fools running the wrong way, that God would have mercy on them, as many as He pleases, just as He has had on me, who was surely just as blind, just as foolish, and racing to Hell on a mad dash.

"The *fool* says in his heart, 'There is no God.'" Then he prays that he is right!
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 He also said, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." Revelation 3:20(NIV)
Anyone who truly wants to know the will of God, will "study to show himself approved, rightly dividing the word of God." If any teaching or doctrine does *not* line up with the written Word of GHod, it should be rejected, for it is not of Him! God will never give us any command, direction or guidance that contradicts His Word!
We Christians (saved by the shed blood of Jesus, washed by the blood of the Lamb and born again) may differ in certain practices; but we shall *never* differ in essential doctrines!

[Quote end.]
Luke 12:5 records Jesus speaking about God's Judgment: "But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear Him, which after He hath killed hath Power to cast into Hell, I say unto you, Fear Him." The Greek word used in this instance is Gehenna, however, the exact meanings of which are ambiguous and debatable (see Gehenna). Mainstream Christianity generally holds the view that Jesus, by referencing a factual fiery place, was creating an analogy for the torments that awaits future sinners at judgment.

Trouble is, everybody and their dog is handing us a "Fire Escape" plan... and no two agree! How are we supposed to pick the right one?!? If we pick the wrong one, we fry, but there's a TON of 'em to choose from! How do we know YOUR "Fire Escape" plan is the genuine article, when it doesn't look any more special or different from the others? Rather than rely on a bunch of conflicting maps, I'd find my own way out!

1) Think of it this way. We are told that asking God to come into our hearts will convict us in the holy spirit and show us the truth in the Bible. If this were true, could proclaimed believers disagree?
2) The balatant falsehoods. absurdities and contradictions in the Bible make it difficult to see how it could have been inspired by a deity, or even how sane, intelligent people could believe it.
Your rant is mute. QED

The difference is being if One has Christ in His life...it wouldnt matter about anyfire..........
Real or not
Cause Truth is We are in Gods hands
""For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain"
Speaking from reality of Truth
if it was meant for me to go i would willingly
and if it was meant for me to stay also willingly
i will do His will , and not be ashamed nor afraid to do either.....and only ones panicking are those who knows they are not ready to do either !!!!!!!!!

I would completely agree with you if God had done one thing to distinguish himself from all the other Mythical gods and beings out there.
Unfortunately he hasn't so your analogy is wrong.
Its really like a being in a building building with a bunch of exits, but being blocked at each one by people pointing to different exits, each of them with a lighter in hand.

People search for reason in the world. Its as simple as that. While I do believe in god, I do not think that our theories of what god is are even remotely close to what god actually is. People need to believe in something, its a psychological balance that lets them know their life is not meaningless. Because if life is meaningless then why do it and then the mass suicides start. = )

From what I've learned on here, there are at least 3,000 different beliefs in a deity here on Earth. With odds of 2,999:1 of picking the right one (if there is a right one) chances are most of us have got it wrong. Nobody really knows the truth about what god is or isn't - they just think they do.
