Which religion is "right" — Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Taoism, or one of countless others? If it feels most discussions of religion lead down this road, it's because they often do! But I want to zoom-out and challenge the entire mindset of asking this question in the first place.
When you think about religion from a place of certainty, rather than open-mindedness, you skip out on creating a spiritual connection. What's spirituality, you ask? To me, it's the idea that everything in this world — the cells in your body, the planet Earth that's spinning, your eyes reading this sentence, etc. — has a measure of mystery behind it.
And guess what? You don't need to KNOW about everything with 100-percent certainty. Instead, you're free to experience this world in your our unique own way — without a single doctrine mandating your experience.
