The breath of creation (none / 0)
I am happy that you have found peace. If you are truly happy ,then that is all that matters. Your beliefs are uniquely yours and yours alone. If you are sincere , explanations are not necessary. In your case, I think that believing there is not God is the same as believing there is a God. It is because you are happy, you are achieving salvation on a different plain. Religions proselytize to add members. Your blog has elements of the same arguments used by Christians to win converts. Christians sell salvation. You are promoting being happy "with where you are at". Do you not see the similarity? Our world and the objects in it already exist in their own right. Believing in nothing ( without the nihilistic doctrine) is true atheism

A Difference Is.. (none / 0)

I am speaking for myself here when I say that I disagree that being truly happy is all that matters.  I'll bet George Bush is truly happy, but the mourning families in Iraq would disagree that that is all that matters. 

Perhaps the blog writer is a skeptic?  One who accepts as likely true things which have solid evidence to support them.

Not really (none / 0)
To be honest, no, I don't see the similarity between posting a blog with "deep thoughts" and proselytizing. If the intention was misconstrued that I was posting for any other reason than to convey where I stand, then I apologize. I don't belief in proselytizing, just interesting discussion.
