Now, while all these roads may lead to something called a “city”, in no way do all these roads lead to the _same_ city with different names. I call bulldust on this, I think they all do lead to something, some a re bit lost due to them idolising an individual. Do you think that Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela, JFK, Desmond Tutu etc are not all very much in touch with “god”? No one can say their way is the only way, even me. > [@Czarcasm](#): > > I can understand this “all roads lead to God” philosophy-it absolves one from both feeling doubt about the path taken, and feeling pressure about “saving” others. Play the ball not the man. I feel that it is my duty to spread light and love throughout my life. I am not trying to make you anything you are not. Saving people from self loathing is what I do through example. > [@Czarcasm](#): > > But this is assuming that _all_ the books lead to God, isn’t it? Are you prepared for the possibility that some of the books might not lead to God at all? If so, then you must consider the possibility that your own personal book might be one of those. The book is not the point, it is meant as a guide. All men & women will read something different into it. The search for spiritual fullfilment will always be about what’s true in your heart not about words on a page. You can read about God in any book, if your heart is open. > [@Bullet fired from spaceship/speed of light](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bullet-fired-from-spaceship-speed-of-light/562826/4): > > Man did not invent Time, he merely named it. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-all-monotheistic-religions-worship-the-same-god/563169)._
