A lot of people choose a religion or belief system because they think it is the correct one, all others being degrees of incorrectness. Its importance is the truth of what it professes to be so. But often the choice is not supposed to be about right versus false or off center, but about surrender and transformation. Often there is the least surrender of one’s will, one’s wants, by those who profess to be right. I am not so interested or fascinated by someone saying that they are a Buddhist or belong to AA, as in how this choice has led to surrendering their ego-centeredness. It is what one does and not what one believes that makes the big difference.
