Jesus' "I am the way" is a laugh to this flake.

Potential Pope Declares Jesus Is Not The Only Way! Cardinal
Francis Arinze, who's considered a possible successor to Pope John Paul II,
has denied Jesus is the only way to heaven. In a recent interview the pope's
spirited 66 year-old deputy for outreach to other religions was asked, "So was
Jesus wrong when he said he was the way, the truth and the life?" Arinze responed,
"If a person were to push what you said a little further and say that if you're
not a Christian you're not going to heaven, we'd regard that person as a fundamentalist...and
theologically wrong. I met in Pakistan a Muslim. He had a wonderful concept
of the Koran. We were like two twins that had known one another from birth.
And I was in admiration of this man's wisdom. I think that man will go to heaven.
There was a Buddhist in Kyoto, in Japan. This man, a good man, open, listening,
humble--I was amazed. I listened to his works of wisdom and said to myself,
'The grace of God is working in this man." The interviewer then repeated the
question, "So you can still get to heaven without accepting Jesus?" "Expressly,
yes [he laughs with the audience]." (Dallas Morning News, 3/20/99) Read John
14:6 and Acts 4:12
