She was studying journalism, Trinity College Dublin, 1996. Killing time at the launderette we talked... She shared her views on God and spirituality, had decided that we're all branches of the same tree. A popular view. All gods the same god, effectively, and everyone's right, so to speak.
We then discussed this one 'scenario': What if - just what if - only one of these 'gods' was true, and all others false. We considered the implications of this a little further. What if this 'true' god, claimed to be the 'only true God', and called mankind not only to believe and live this, but to make it known to others; to not accept or condone other 'false gods'. What if this 'true God', brought with him all the treasures of truth and eternal life, but called us to lay down our lives to have and hold this treasure... If the one true God could be known, at this cost, 'Would you want to know?' She said, 'No.' 'Jesus said, 'I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' (John 14:6)
