Totally NOT a debate about the veracity of the gospels

[Zen Badger]

Hello. :-)

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.

I am.

I have a beautiful wife whom I love very much.(Kichi)

I have kids and grand kids that think I'm pretty awesome.

I have a great group of friends.

I have a job that I enjoy and has meaning(bus mechanic) with a bunch of guys that make work fun.
And I have a hobby that is both fun and dangerous.

So yes, I am content with my life.

Ok, more money etc would be nice, but not essential. And I won't lose sleep over it.
