Not necessarily.
The Bible never promises us happiness. It promises us peace through the storm.
Christians can sin, but the Bible says that we shouldn't use grace as an excuse for our sins, but "IF (not when) we DO sin, we have an advocate with the Father ..." and "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Christians aren't perfect by a long shot. And some brand new "baby" Christians may even have a lot of sin that hasn't yet been dealt with. But God DOES offer us a pardon because we put our trust in Jesus Christ. As Jesus said, "Whoever puts their trust in the Son of God shall not be condemned. Whoever does NOT put their trust in the Son of God is condemned already ..." Why? Because "ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Morality can ONLY come from God as we yield to His Spirit more and more.

No of course not!
Someone is trying to sell you some kind of utopia that does not exist.
Christians have problems and challenges in life like everyone else and are no better than anyone else too.

Moral according to who?
Clarification; Christians (using the term loosely) at present have the same sitution an Atheist has; self (man) being a false god. So do they 'worhip' God on God's terms or on man's terms?

I am a Christian and I would venture to say that my life is much like anyone elses good days and bad days, good decisions and bad decisions. Ultimately I am happy because I choose to be happy.

ha! no! they are probably forced to deal with more morality issues since there are so many rules and so many branches of christianity. also, most things that are enjoyable are considered sinful so they are probably more depressed than everyone else. i would be if i had all those rules!

Not the Christians I've met. Buddhists hold that, even above atheists.

The evidence actually suggests that humanists are happiest and most moral.

I would have to say yes......I know from experience that when I repented, was babtized in JESUS name, the LORD filled me with the Holy Ghost. Now that I am living for HIM, I have a PEACE that passes all understanding.........It is for everyone!! It is joy unspeakable.....

Nope. They have the same problems that everyone else has.

A true Christian probably is, but there are very few true "followers of Christ." Most claim to be Christian, but are incredible hypocrytes. Calling yourself a Christian doesn't make you a Christian.
