hi bowral,

"knowledge always comes from a greater source of knowledge"

it depends if you are talking about intellectual knowledge (that may or may not be true), like universities etc, or experiential knowledge.
the latter is not based on a greater source.

embracing knowledge, without the cultivation of morality, collectedness, and the arising of wisdom; leads to intelligent foolishness.

was listening to a good talk on faith recently.
faith in various things (with sensible reasoning) can be useful; but as far as faith goes, one would do well to admit that it's something that is still subject to conditions.

"if there is no god,it dosent really matter what anyone thinks,nothing can be absolutely right or wrong just up to the individual"

if i choose to nail an iron roof with no gloves, because i can't be bothered getting them, then bash my finger, look at it, then faint and fall off the roof,
that is what i regard as "wrong" action of body and mind.
any concept of god is irrelevant.
who told you that in order for something to be right, that it had to be absolute?

"human character is inherantly fallen"

that is just something you believe, but do not know for sure.
we should be careful what we believe.
does anything that is created have any inherent existance?

cheers
