The bold is what I'm speaking of. What you picked out is a general statement about what Christianity says. Sorry if it was misleading.

Read the book Song of Solomon in the Bible, I would suggest something other than the King James. We also and firstly receive pleasure serving God, we enjoy living life, we enjoy serving others. Going on bike trips and white water kayaking (use to be one of my favorites until I hurt my back), I can still canoe on calmer waters. I tournament fished for many years, I still hunt and do wood work. I know many Christians that are very active in things like marathon runs, hiking and ect. We do not find pleasure in the things we consider sinful, it bothers us to do so, in other words it makes us feel bad thus no real pleasure.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
