Pluralism is insulting to actual religions: each has a different destination and goal

Stop Saying All Roads Lead to God! 00:14:17 – 00:15:19

Pluralism disrespects the distinct truth claims of individual religions

To say all roads lead to God is condescending to the religions themselves. Buddhism does not claim to lead to God or heaven — some branches seek annihilation of the self. Atheists do not want to be with God. Muslims seek a paradise with virgins. Christians seek fellowship with Jesus. Certain branches of Hinduism seek impersonal union with Brahman, not conscious existence. These are mutually exclusive destinations; collapsing them into "all lead to God" erases what each religion actually claims.
