What if all religions and beliefs are right?

The world was created in many different ways?

I don't know how to describe this so you will understand, but I'll try my best.

Let's say every religion is a computer and operatingsystem.
Paganism is Macintosh, Christianity is Microsoft, Buddhism is Linux, etc.
All computers are connected to one, huge computer - our world.

As a Pagan, my world and life was created by Macintosh (haha, this sounds funny), and my coding only works for Macintosh.
While a Christian was created by Microsoft, yet in the same world.

I understand if you don't understand what I mean.

Also, I don't believe in this to the fully, and it's not meant to start an argumentation.
It's for reading only.

I understand what you mean, but can't some religions contradict others? There are millions of "religions", some of which believe two opposing ideas...If every religion was "right", and some religions contradicted each other, then some religions would be "wrong"...

Let's see... I'll give you a little example

There are two people looking at a cylinder. They are watching it from different points of view, so one of them sees a rectangle, and the other person sees a circle. Then, they argue with each other about what they have seen. They say that a circle and a rectangle are totally different, so each one of them believes that the other one isn't telling the truth, because he/she's describing some totaly different shape.

But, the truth is... they are both describing accurately the same object. The differences, which seem like contradictions, are just because of different points of view. And, both of them would discover the true shape of the object if they accepted each other's descriptions as true, instead of arguing about them.

I think it's kinda the same with different religions and God...

I kinda get it...lol. However, the problem w/ this is that it completely goes against scripture and because of that I'm afraid I must disagree. Jesus said He was the way the truth and the life and no one could get to the father but by Him. He also said that that path to life is narrow and wide is the one to destruction. Because of this, you can see there are two paths, one following God and the other one not. If you reject Jesus, who is God, then you aren't on the path and thus not in truth. Thus, the only right way is through Jesus.
