If two faiths flat out contradict each other, they can't both be right.
Faith A says that God doesn't care what you do or believe. Faith B says that God does care what you do and what you believe.
Both can not be correct. Can they both be paths to God? That's the thing, because of their statement, they'd have to believe in different Gods. So they would not be on two different paths to the same God. If they were, then God would not be stable, and in the case of faith B, God would be a liar.
If you reduce an entire religion down to a single axiom, then sure, they can be entirely contradictory.
But religions aren't like that, they are each a thousand different beliefs, rituals, and directives. There are enough similarities in message to see a commonality between them.
Like you said, it's all the same path to God, some paths are a bit more meandering than others, and some claim that there are no other paths.
"But religions aren’t like that" Yeah, some religions are like that.
Religions are a single axiom and nothing else? Which ones?
No, what I meant was, that two religions can be contradictory based on just one belief. Depends on the belief though.
