The topic of other religions surfaced in a discussion Sunday night. They want to know what we think and what the Bible says about how people get to God, and if it's possible that maybe we're all worshipping the same God in various ways. A good question, really. We tried to answer it not from our instincts or opinions, but looking at verses in the Bible (since we claim that the Bible is the authority in our lives). I think it's important not to teach "doctrine" (as in "you must believe what I say") but to show people what the Bible says and let them make their own interpretations and judgments.

Anyway, the real point of mentioning this was to share the humor that when they said "other religions," they meant Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons. Other than atheism or agnosticism, those are your options.
