John 8:31-32 English Standard Version (ESV)
31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Philippians 4:12-13 English Standard Version (ESV)
12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
These people are living evidence of the truthfulness of the above scriptures.
So, you're a Buddhist then?  Or maybe Jainist?
People of all faiths and of none can have a great deal of joy in life.  More than Christians, even!  You are dealing with some serious personal bias's.  Good luck with those.
It's just my observation, not a bias. Buddhists look at the world as just a place of suffering and are working to reach the state in which they won't have to come back anymore. Christians look as living in the world as a time of serving God.

I'm afraid I don't know where you are going with this Lek. Are you explaining more reasons why you like being a Christian, or are you presenting a case for why someone else should consider becoming a Christian?

Both.

...And?

(Also, your definition of 'joyful' is irrelevant to me. Since we define it differently, you can't prove with any accuracy that I'm any more or less joyful than your friends.  I talk to my cats, they talk to their imaginary friend.  Equally happy?)

Wrong about who I hang out with. I guess my definition of "joy" is what I'm discussing here.
