Where do you ‘believe’ your philosophical worldview ‘ultimately’ comes from?

That is beyond my understanding. As I said, I am deficient in my ability to understand theology. Such questions don't make sense to me.

I can understand trying to be a good person, but the requirement to say I believe things I believe to be untrue is beyond my understanding.

My reading of the Bible comes from my heart, not my mind. I have seen modern preachers lie, and I am suspicious of things in the Bible that look like rabble rousing. The Bible was written and assembled by men. I don't believe it is inerrant.

If you ask why I make the attempt to be honest and good, I have to say that's just the way I am. I don't see it as collecting green stamps to get into Heaven.

I'm merely asking where you ‘believe’ your philosophical worldview ‘ultimately’ comes from? Is it mindlessness or intelligence?

Very nice post. Too bad certain people end up missing the forest for the trees.
