It's not that all christians are joyful, even though they should be, but the only people I've come across in my life that I would consider joyful have been christians. I see joy as different than happiness, in that it is a deeper contentment, and is there whether one's life is going well or not. It's present even in times of great sickness and dying. It's knowing that, no matter what happens, things are okay--not just that they will be okay, but they are okay.
You've been spending way too much time on this forum with THESE atheists. Most atheists I have met seem happy, but the atheists on this forum aren't like most atheists at all. Spend time with a normal atheist and you will see that they have more love in their being than hatred.
Find me an actual character difference between the average atheist and average theist and I will say you're making it up.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

This is a forum, after all. I am not going to be precisely the same as I am in real life as I am on here. The internet allows a freedom that real life simply does not provide. I am a decent atheist in real life, but on a forum that celebrates and encourages my honesty in accordance to the plague named religion I am going to be more outspoken.

The average atheist doesn't give a shit about that...

Because you are clearly an expert on the average atheist. Would you like another attempt?

This is a forum where religious people are welcome to express and debate. We atheists are not allowed to be atheists here on an atheist forum?
We atheists act perfectly normal here, too. Just not in accordance with your personal experience from real life.
Again, I state that the forum is going to be different than real life experiences. We have more freedom here because we should not have to be fully expected to act in accordance to real life in a place where we resort to escape the harshness of reality.

You got escaping from reality correct at least.

No one does it better than the theist. At least we escape the harshness of reality only to subject the actualities of reality upon theists here. Forum atheists are not escaping reality for the sake of a false comfort, after all, but rather escaping the reality of the real world for indulging the virtual world in actual reality.
