Outside The Box

The survey of Philosophy on Wikipedia mentioned Thomas Aquinas' philosophy that there must be an uncaused, "first cause" and that first cause is God. I like the idea of an 'uncaused first cause', it makes sense to me, but it doesn't have to be called God to make sense.
I may seem to come off as an atheist, I don't think that I am, I do believe that there was most probably a First Cause that set all of this in motion, but in the words of Socrates, "I know that I don't know", therefore since speculation will prove nothing, I am content, at the moment, with calling myself Agnostic. While I do not adhere or align with any particular religious philosophy, I do find myself able to be more open to spiritual philosophies which dont tend to make belief in The One They Call God a requirement of participation.
I have been exposed to my own "survey of philosophy" in my life. I was raised by Muslim parents (they are from Egypt) but I attended a Christian Science elementary school, a Christian Baptist middle school, A Catholic High School, and then in my teenage years I studied the martial arts which led me to an interest in Eastern Philosophy. I like the Buddhist and Taoist schools of thought and appreciate the way of life they teach and practice. I feel that my parents gave me a pretty good chance to become open minded and to develop my own ideas and beliefs. I haven't found a "box" to put myself in as far as religions go and I refuse to call myself something just because it is more comfortable inside the box. I am ok with being 'different' because it is a lot easier for me to learn things from the outside. Once you are inside all sorts of emotions get involved that make it difficult to think and deduce clearly.
"Do not accept anything by mere tradition ... Do not accept anything just because it accords with your scriptures ... Do not accept anything merely because it agrees with your pre-conceived notions ... But when you know for yourselves — these things are moral, these things are blameless, these things are praised by the wise, these things, when performed and undertaken, conduce to well-being and happiness — then do you live acting accordingly." -Buddha
