In part you're right, but what he meant was that ultimate truth can be found, within. (if we believe the story, one can assume Jesus meant that a life without God, will create an inner turmoil)
But...We don't need to believe in a Deity to live with peace, joy hope and love. Those things are the "truths" of a content life. With or without a belief in a Deity.
Yes?
I don't know a single person, theist or atheist, who is truly content.
Life's a journey, and there are struggles, and lessons and no matter if you follow a god or not, there is no escaping that. But you can still find contentment even during strife. Contentment doesn't mean without suffering at different points. Suffering doesnt rob us of contentment, how we view it does. It's all about perspective, I think?
