So, what do we conclude? Like liberals, they're all dead inside. Their slim shot at happiness is to make everyone around them just as dead.
There are countless former atheists who have received that amazing grace.
“Their slim shot at happiness is to make everyone around them just as dead.”
I think that’s maybe their problem, they don’t seek happiness and freedom, they are vainly chasing control. Control is illusive, with or without God. Happiness can be found with God. I give up control and find happiness with faith in God all powerful. That’s my belief.
I tend to disagree about atheists not being “happy.” This discussion could get psychological so to avoid that, I will bring joy and hope into the mix.
As a Christian, I have fought depression. My faith in God and my relationship to Him is often my only source of joy. My hope comes from thinking about when Jesus rules this world and our many children will once again be playing outside without fear and we will not have to ever lock a door again. Heaven is going to be so wonderful that I can’t even imagine what that life will be like so I stick to what I know will be here and enJOY it.
Other things make me happy. Ice cream, a wonderful photo, my silly alien looking rat terrier, thinking about living in the mountains again, and a white Christmas. Joy is what Christians have, anyone can be happy.
