For people of all religious beliefs (or lack of): How did you come to your beliefs?

I am the High Ideologue of the House of Ideology. I build with ideas in my mind a model of self and world. This model of self and world that I build with ideas in my mind I use to orient myself towards existence and explain existence to myself. This reality that I fashion within my mind I call my house of ideology. Many of the life forms in our body consuming biosphere naturally build a model of self and world and use this in the process of orienting self towards existence and explaining existence to self. Out of an awareness of this fact and a desire to pursue happiness and good health came to me the idea of founding the House of Ideology, a non profit religious ociation and the High Ideologue, A Corporation Sole, a non profit religious corporation. Through these organizations I challenge us to have the highest esteem of self and world that we can possibly imagine; and converge upon a standard of conduct that best produces happiness and good health. I welcome the active participation of anyone who wishes to join me in this effort.
