Not.
I use such absurdity to answer those who would suggest that I'm "narrow-minded" in my belief that Jesus is the only way to God. Call me a religious bigot, but there are reasons I'm a One-God woman:
First of all, Jesus said Himself that He's the only way to God. Not the best way or the preferred way--but the only way.
Then He backed up His claim by willingly dying to save me from eternal death. No other "path to God" is paved with such love.
He resurrected to save me to eternal life. I figure that if He has that much power over His own life, I owe Him the chance with mine.
Jesus satisfies me. Completely. I tried other "men"--I studied world religions (including the non religion called humanism). I came up empty in my quest for meaning, purpose, peace, and fulfillment. It was only in a person--a relationship with my Creator--that I found the essence of life.
Only the one true and living God offers me the guidance and protection of a father, the comfort and nurturing of a mother, the friendship and faithfulness of a brother, and the intimacy and devotion of a lover. I need look no further.
"Almighty God, you have made us for yourself. And our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you." --St. Augustine
"I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst." John 6:34

Well, "Mrs. Bigot" i bet Dave is glad you are so hooked on him and Jesus, and that you aren't really out there looking for love in all the wrong places, seeking love in too many faces. I bet he's glad you found what you are looking for and if all the people of this world would look in the same place this place would be heading for a different eternity. you're grreat..
