Do all paths lead to God? No is the answer

Only paths/religions that teach kindness, love, justice, goodness is important is a path that lead to God.

Paths/religions that do not teach that kindness, love, justice, goodness is important is not a path that lead to God. Religions/paths that teach violence, hate is important is not a path to God.

Any thoughts? What do you believe about this?

I believe you are free to believe what ever you like.
Regardless of what I think of your beliefs.

I believe you are being entirely one dimensional when making claims about god.
But since I have no idea what your beliefs are outside the OP, I am unable to go into further detail.
One dimensional? What to you mean with that?

If god is all good, where does bad come from?
Humans free will. And because life is a test for the soul to learn lessons. If this earth was like heaven then we had not learned anything, then our soul would not have grow

Ah, so you are of the mind that god did not create humans or their free will, right?

I am not the one to answer for others what path lead to God or what path does not lead to God, my personal belief is that paths that teach as you mention in your OP can lead to God, but again it depend on how the human being do it, just because a path teach love and kindness and a person say he or she follow it, does not make the person right. it all comes down to Action, speach and thought of each individual person who follow a religious teaching.
(This is of course only my personal understanding, and others may disagree fully with what i say. )

God crated humans and free will. Why? Because God do not want to force us to love Him. God wants us to choose for ourselves. If God had created us without free will then we would have been like robots. To force someone is not love.

Which of the thousands of proposed deities is the one you claim?
You have already eliminated the gods of the Bible and Koran....
There is only one God. different gods in different religions describe often the same God. Most religions talk about the same god. But understands and explains God in different ways.

While nobel thoughts, those desired qualities are not found in abundance in nature itself.

If anything. The path is directionless, a never-ending journey as it leads to countless possibilities all with its own sets of beginnings and endings.

God is truth(to me), and I think the best way to accept and love the truth for what it is is indeed embracing to virtues you speak of.
However, people can have varying opinions on the exact meaning of kindness, love, justice, and goodness and therefore have differing views on how it should be practiced properly. This is a major cause for friction and conflicts that ironically leads to a lot of hatred and violence.

I would generally agree with you, we should not be motivated by hatred, however I don't believe in pacifism. Violence has its place in self defence, and you can't really enforce justice without the application of violence sometimes.
