It has been an interesting journey for sure however. I am more free to explore what my mind can think rather than what i am told to think.

Christ said, "you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free." I know most Christians view this as only being set free of sin in different ways, depends on the denomination. However I see it as even more, did you ever give this statement by Christ any consideration other than being set free of sin.

To answer your question, I believe the statement all truth comes from god, that includes everything. I am always open to the idea of a theistic God. However, in my observations of the world around me I just do not see any "intervention". As Ben Franklin stated concerning Jesus I share the same sentiment, "As to Jesus of Nazareth, my Opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the System of Morals and his Religion, as he left them to us, the best the world ever saw or is likely to see; but I apprehend it has received various corrupt changes, and I have, with most of the present Dissenters in England, some Doubts as to his divinity; tho' it is a question I do not dogmatize upon, having never studied it, and I think it needless to busy myself with it now, when I expect soon an Opportunity of knowing the Truth with less Trouble ..."

I find that virtue is important in society and regards to humanism, therefore I strife for the moral and rational aspects of the human mind. I believe we require certian agreed morals for the progression of mankind to work in the best means possible. These virtues and morals are present throughout religions and various philosophical beliefs.
