Below is an exhaustive but inconclusive list of sects within the world's major religions. Find yours within, and if you're up to the challenge, explain why it's the only way to eternal salvation. Obviously it'd be impossible to try each of these practices in one's lifetime, so why did you settle on your particular sect? I hope that this will prove a valuable exercise which will display the tunnel vision we experience at ground level within our religious communities and families.

Its a large world out there, and almost each of these below believe that theirs is the only way, truth, and light.

Ok, lets see how we do.
