Why are some religions intolerant in their outlook?
A:Religions are all to some extent in a competitive environment. One of the few ways in which they can compete for adherent is by asserting that other beliefs are wrong. While some religions do so graciously and with tact, some religions demand that the listener believe all other religions to be wrong. By teaching that unbelievers will go to hell, they can then take the next step and say that anyone who does not follow the truth is condemned to eternal life in hell. This is the road to religious intolerance. The Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam and, to some extent, Judaism), being monotheistic have a special tendency to intolerance. A follower of a polytheistic religion has no particular problem if someone else believes in yet another god. But the Abrahamic religions teach that there is only one God, so everyone who worships any other god if wrong. Not only wrong, but potentially calling the Jew, Christian or Muslim a liar! To extremists, the response has been to burn the sacred texts, destroy the statues ('idols') and temples, and persecute the believers.

What are some religions that might think that one can pray to or get blessings from someone other than God or by going through anyone other than the Lord Jesus Christ?
There are many many polytheistic religions (those that teach that there is something holy about someone or something other than God). In fact, every religion in the world has polytheism - except two. Christianity makes Jesus an object of worship. That means that one is praying to other than God. Those who say that Jesus is God do not have a clue what monotheism really means. They do not understand the Bible, nor do they understand what Jesus himself was all about. they follow the perversion of Paul - who destroyed the message of Jesus. Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism and other faiths all seem to have someone or something that is above human mortality. The onlt two that are COMPLETELY monotheistic are Judaism and Islam.
