Calling you out on your inability to understand that your beliefs are simply beliefs is not ad-hominem. You have no monopoly on truth, yet you claim to be advocating the only cure. Therein lies the arrogance. A simple qualifier such as "I believe" before statements such as the one I quoted would alleviate this problem.

I'm sorry if I came off harsh, but dispensing advice to reexamine religious beliefs that have been cast aside is a pet peeve of mine. People should have the right to choose their own beleifs, and any claims on the truth directed towards another come across as an attempt to influence that choice.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
