Well if their God was SO Almighty, I'd immediately think that he is WAY too big to just fit so perfectly into "just" Christianity and NOT inside other religions. The things that most Chritians do not know (simply b/c a lot of them will not even OPEN THEIR EARS for discussion when you mention anything not inline w/ their way of thought) is that most modern religions are more alike than they are different... **thinking** SO if we could account those very minute differences to "mans" influence, then simply being a Buddhist or Muslim should not send you to hell. Ya think? CHRISTIANITY has a "my way or the highway" mentality, which basic LIMITS the power of the "oh so mighty" God that they serve. To say that THEIR God is the ONLY God, says that he is basically UNABLE to save people that are non-Christian. Man, I am typing this in a hurry you'll have to 4give me. If I had more time I could make it make more sense. Sorry for the jack admin.
God is on a pedestal because he deserves to be there. Christianity doesn't limit God's power, people do. God will only do what you let him do, or better yet, he is limited by your faith in him. All people are able to know the God we believe in. There isn't one country of this world that the gospel hasn't been brought to.
