I never referred to Jesus as a thing. When I used the term, I was referring to what you might say to someone who claimed they got peacxe from something that wasn't Jesus. And I use the term because I am referring to ANYTHING that can bring a person peace. For you, it is Jesus. For someone else, it my be their model train hobby. For another person, if could be running through the forest.
I am simply saying that there are as many different ways to find peace as there are people, and you can't claim that someone's way of finding peace is invalid just because it isn't what works for you.
And I am not accusing you of lying either. I have never once stated that you are lying and that Jesus doesn't bring you peace. If you say that Jesus brings you peace, that's good enough for me, and I will accept it. But likewise, if a different person says that something else brings them peace, I accept that too. I am not taking issue with your religious faith bringing you peace. I am taking issue with your position that no one can ever have peace unless it is through the same religious faith that brings you peace.
