life experience + religious texts(all) + philosophers + meditation = my Philosophy
I try as little as possible to base my philosophy directly on the Bible. Naturally, since I am a Christian, I rework things if they contradict the clear teaching of scripture, but since it's my philosophy we're talking about, and not my religion, I don't like to base it on scripture.
