Are there any substitutes for having inner peace?

It is the height of arrogance to claim that inner peace, which I take to mean a sense of well being and general fulfillment, is only possible via belief in a given mythology.All of the positive effects you cite could just as easily be available to any person with a positive outlook on life. That's all fine, but where you fall is where many theists fall; by assuming that the way they think they achieved a sense of "inner peace" is the only way to do so. Nothing could be further from the truth.I am an atheist with a job I like, hobbies I enjoy, friends I care about and a family I love. I'm doing pretty good. I am quite fullfilled. Your claim that "true peace" can only be found the way YOU did, by YOUR beliefs is false and the height of shamefull vanity.

I am literally stunned by this rant. Get to you did I? You, with your inane diatribe, have amply proven my claims. You are painfully, stupidly arrogant. You actually do think that your way is the only way, and that's just sad.I called you arrogant, but I made that determination form the content of your post and explained why. You have claimed that I would wilt before the difficulties of life, along with other spurious claims, simply based on a baseless assesment coming from what can only be a large pool of unfounded opinions about atheists. All of your assertions are without weight. Mine are, as I said, proven.Rest assured that I am quite beyond needing your aid in any way. I am unsuited to your brand of Christianity even more then others. I simply don't have the needed hubris. Do not bother replying to this, unless you have some need for the last word. You are not worth my time.

Sir, Your Grandfather seems to have been a man worth knowing.
