If anyone does so totally believe in God, there should be absolutely no cause for such a believer to ever feel afraid, sorry, angry, disappointed or unhappy..... I haven't come across anyone like that! Does it mean that there can be no true believer?

I think it's human nature to be skeptical, but at the core I think we all find comfort in God.

It all depends on how you understand the god concept. If we are talking about the Judeo-Christian image of a human like, chauvinist and angry superman that rules the world, no one really does believe in him. But the true god is not an entity; god is the concept with which we try to define the divinity, the oneness and purpose of the all. It is one's choice to view reality in such a manner or another, and it doesn't really matter, because what is out there is always what is and perceptions are just for the subject of experience.
The true god is the totality of all, of all there is, of all that is. One can't really believe in god but, rather, one is god and lives in god. The less you are aware of the truth, the more you are afraid of a wrath full, punishing god. The more you understand the godness in all, including you, the more you are at ease, and not at dis-ease.

Humans grows up with influence around him. Anger, disappointment of what you listed those are influence.
Why you think are very dangerous people with no mercy.Its influence and the experience of your surroundings. A true believer is the one who do his best to overcome those influence. Even prophets back then they cried and even felt unhappy.

I truly believe in God. But believing in God is not the same as having faith in him. Lack of faith leads to to fear, sorrow, unhappiness and disappointment. As imperfect humans, this want of faith is natural and inevitable. But our belief in God challenges and compels us to go beyond ourselves and transcend. It is arguable if we are even capable of doing so; still, we strive. Belief is a fundamental step in this process.
Merely believing in God will not make us immune from hurt, sorrow or pain. But it certainly makes hurt, sorrow and pain a lot easier to cope with. Belief however isn't aimed at the alleviation of these negative emotions. Believing in God is an end in itself. When we realize that, then perhaps we can finally say that we truly believe. As I do.

There are more believers in this world than non - believers...just depends on one's circle of friends. One's belief can not change the circumstances of this world, however it can comfort and give hope to those with faith. Believers are subject to the same conditions as anyone else living in this world and also have to operate under the consequences of non - believer's choices ie; murder, lying, stealing,etc... This world has problems. I believe in God as a result of desiring truth in my life. I saw with my eyes and felt in my heart this world's instability. I became tired of the lies evident in this world and responded by seeking truth. I found truth and stabilty in Christ. I found freedom to become the person I always knew I had deep inside of me but afraid to expose. I found peace that I can not understand being surrounded by the turmoil of this world. I found hope, joy and contentment. I found a Father who loves me and provides all my needs. It is only because of God that I can enjoy my life. I found trust that enables me to go though life without fear knowing I am protected and covered with His perfect love.

Small...what makes you think that belief makes the ills of the world go away? Look at Mother Teresa...if anyone, she totally believed in God. She lived a life off abject misery, chose to live a life among the cast off of society..and was she happy? Assured? No...she was not...read her bio, its surprising.
Belief gives humans a comfort, a safe zone...it allows us to know that no matter what the world throws our way that we have the strength to face it, overcome it, and come out knowing that no matter what, we are good, caring, loving people who at least try to live a moral, ethical life.

Believing totally in God, does not exempt a person from the hardships you describe in life.This is called redemptive suffering, which we all must endure to some degree.

No...i don't believe in god. I know some people who believe in god, but they aren't even sure she/he exists. They aren't even sure themselves.
