IMO, it's one of the valid reasons to believe.
From the perspective of the religion itself, happiness is not a valid reason. If the Christian god is who the Bible says he is, then that's the only justification. God is who god says god is and that god demands adulation from humans. There's absolutely nothing in the Bible that remotely suggests god will make you happy if you believe in him and follow his commandments.

How could I have been "damaged" as a newborn baby, before I had ever attended Mass? It's not possible, unless you're willing to believe I had some kind of pre-mortal existence, during which I was damaged.
How the fuck did you perceive anything about "age" my statement?
