Fire alarm analogy: even if the messenger is a jerk, truth remains truth — cultural taboo vs. actual wrong
Further defense of proclaiming Jesus as the only way
A fire breaks out in an office building. The person who screams "Fire, you idiots!" while calling everyone names is still right about the fire. Smart people evacuate despite his arrogance. Similarly, even if proclaiming Jesus as the only way could be perceived as rude (Winger insists it is not inherently rude), that does not make the claim false. Christianity's claim is not based on personal preference (which would be arrogant) but on public revelation — God's own diagnosis of humanity's sin and provision of a cure through Jesus. It is a cultural taboo, not an actual wrong.
