Alan tends to speak somewhat bluntly but I do understand the logical point he was trying to make, and he was not quoting the 'confusion' verse to say Eva was 'of the devil.' He said:
My Bible says that God is not the author of confusion. One cannot embrace the teachings of Christ ...and at the same time embrace the teachings of Hinduism and Bhudism, which claim there are many paths to God. Christ said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but by me."
You may disagree with Alan, but his point is that Hundus & Buddhists claim there are many paths to truth or enlightenment (Buddhists don't even believe in a god) but Christianity states that there is only one path. What Alan was trying to say was that he couldn't understand the mixing of two mutually-exclusive belief systems.
I realize you may not be happy with Alan's way of presenting things, but that's what I think he was getting at.
