Your reply is incoherent...and, I asked my priest about what your claim is and he said that you are mistaken on Catholic doctrine.

If you consider my reply incoherent, I'm not sure if you interpreted it correctly. For one thing, I wasn't making any claims specifically about Catholic doctrine. I was really thinking more about what people from different (and in some ways contrasting) groups would say about the situation.

Not sure what your point about Ghandi is...do you wish to elaborate, perhaps a little more coherently?

If I am to answer "coherently," I'd need to know specifically what you find so incoherent about my point.

I am sorry, I think it may have been a formatting problem on the text with the mix of copy and paste and your input.

I think I understand what you were saying...basically that Christianity is exclusive also...yes, but there is valid reason for that. It is what God tells us. If one thinks about it all the theological doctrine one needs to truly understand the overall gist of Christianity is summed up in John 3:16. There we are also told that no man is between any individual and Jesus Christ...we all have direct access to Him.

I realize that people who are not Christian may look upon the exclusivity but I don’t think it is the same logically as one denomination of the same religion being exclusive...In the one case we literally have God telling us that all Christians go to heaven...in the other we have some men, outside of the Bible telling us that only one denomination goes to heaven. They are completely mutually exclusive of each other.
