I think that "all the above" is the obvious answer for almost everyone.
Under normal circumstances, everyone is influenced to some degree by everyone they have significant and substantial involvement with; every event that either captivates the mind or strikes at the heart; and intellectual processes are hopefully involved at some point as well.
Indeed.Rational thought plays very little role in shaping anyone's views at all.
I basically have kept the views of my parents and siblings with some minor tweeks based on childhood experiences.

Guests can see and vote in the poll section of our forum. They will not show up on a public poll.

While I'm tempted to put "all of the above", it has to be Rational Thought.
Using logic and reason naturally leads one towards being more liberal, so that's where I ended up.
Although, even in my youth when I accepted religion as rational, the teachings of Jesus also pointed me towards liberalism.
Honestly, the only things I can fathom that would lead one to America's current version of conservatism is fear, greed, or a twisted religious dogma.
Good grief! One person can use reason and come to two completely different conclusions!Oh puh-leeze. You don't think that two people can try to use reason and still come to two completely different conclusions?
