Re: Jesus is the Only Way?
Although our society loves to dwell and even revel in how they have been insulted, I don't see the benefit to it personally (other than internal inquiry and investigation). Sure, religious bigots are acting unskillfully and with greed, hatred and delusion as their base. As Buddhists we have the teachings of morality, concentration and wisdom. Responding with outrage and amplifying the message of bigots probably just gives the bigots what they want, or at a minimum, shows your practice as unskillful too.

"He, the Blessed One, is indeed the Noble Lord, the Perfectly Enlightened One;
He is impeccable in conduct and understanding, the Serene One, the Knower of the Worlds;
He trains perfectly those who wish to be trained; he is Teacher of gods and men; he is Awake and Holy. "

"The Dhamma is well-expounded by the Blessed One,
Apparent here and now, timeless, encouraging investigation,
Leading to liberation, to be experienced individually by the wise. "

Re: Jesus is the Only Way?
There are over 1000 christian heaven visits.many outpouring of prophecy.many Jesus visitations.you guys will say this is Mara but we believe the buddhas visions like in mahayana and Vajrayana are demonic entities.also the Devas.when I converted to christianity from hinduism,the hindu gods started attacking me in sleep paralysis but jesus name always defeats them.
thats why you should look at the structure of said religion,and so far Theism has the scientific and philosophical upperhand imho.

Re: Jesus is the Only Way?
Given your past performance on this page you seem to understand neither.
“Knowing that this body is just like foam,
understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”

Quantum mechanics proves God,and at the very least Idealism.the unconditioned reality argument and 20 other arguments proves Gods existance.
keep believing in exnihilo creation,infinity of concrete things and births and Kshanabhanga.

"Don't play chess with pigeons," said Coëmgenu with futility. They'll just knock the pieces off the board and defecate on the table. That's how a pigeon wins a game of chess. It's not their fault. They don't, can't, know any better. Yet isn't the very act of logging into an open web forum, with any and all manner of people present, consenting to chess with all the pigeons, no matter how many people might also be milling about?
What is the Uncreated?
Sublime & free, what is that obscured Eternity?
It is the Undying, the Bright, the Isle.
It is an Ocean, a Secret: Reality.
Both life and oblivion, it is Nirvāṇa.

How? By not sitting down to a game with one of them.

If I say, "and you have," does that make you a pigeon?
You don't need to answer if you don't want to. It was a purely rhetorical question. Anyways, I wish you well.
