For those who adhere to christendom, there is no other way to get to your [imaginary] heaven and eternal life with your [imaginary] god but through the Christ character and his redemptive work on the cross. There is no ambiguity about that within christianity. (Now I know that there are a lot of people here who's beliefs are all over the map, but this is for those who accept the above to be true).
Please explain something that I wondered about many years ago (one of the things which actually lead me to abandoning christianity):
Is God/Love natural ... and thought unnaturally bred into the system? That's a beast if I ever heard of one! Perhaps it answers our fears about that shadow we call mind/soul ... whatever?
Love is something that none seems to be able to control with out a bit of "Light" while in those pits. Now in a polynesian tongue mana is an unnatural power. Is that like halve a bun in the oven?
