The very idea that belief and following of Christ will give you happiness on earth is BLASPHEMY.

Agreed. Sometimes christians preach that if you become a christian then everything is grand. Not true. In fact, it could get bad for us. What we have when we put our faith in God and become His, is peace from the mayhem. We know that whatever happens, we have Christ. If we die, we have Christ. If we lose our job, we have Christ. If a spouse is unfaithful, we have Christ. Putting our successes and faith in worldly things will only let us down. Christ will not. That is our hope and our peace.

I agree! As Paul said, “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21)
