Some may think so.
I mean I'm not happy worshiping a God who violated a virgin's civil rights. But that's just me.
But I also do not attack faiths I know nothing about. For example claiming Pagans (whatever defination they are using) are money grabbing materalistic evil people.
I guess it's easy to mindlessly attack.

It is not easy but it is more interesting than anything else I've done with my life up to now. The reason it isn't easy is because we see more and more of a blatant hatred for us and we realize that there is a holy war aimed at our eradication. We realize that we are in that deal alone without the help of our countrymen who believe the war is nothing more than a president's folly.

Im definitely much more joyful and happy and blessed now that I am a Christian. With that said though, its much easier to go with the flow, not be made fun of, and be accepted in my society agreeing with what everyone else is. That would be easier than being a Christian to me.

No. When you become a Christian, you add the Devil as an enemy. That will create a serious challenge. However, if you are NOT challenged, you should question if you are in the right place.
Mark 13:13 Â And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
We need to endure till the end!
GOD bless

For the pure in heart even every adversity is easy because they have no other wish than to love. For everyone else it is not so easy. I'm the latter trying to learn from the former...
God bless.

Absolutely not. It's a life of sacrifice. The early church gave their lives for their relationship with God. You'll find many today who will do the same. The reward of living for God far outweighs any temporary pleasure this life would bring. Many times that fleeting pleasure leads to depression or even worse. Spiritual satisfaction is much better than temporary pleasures that sin offers.

No Christianity is definitely not easy. You face trials and ridicule but in the end your reward in heaven is worth it.

That would depend on how you look at it I suppose. To me, no matter what is going on around me, I have peace knowing that it is all in God's hand, and He loves me, and will always guide me to what is right and for my good. It is all to be to His glory, not ours. So what is easy?
God Bless.

No.
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Jesus speaking in Matt. 7:14.)
Christ taught that we are not to expect the majority to follow Him on the road that leads to life. Comparatively few will enter the humble gate of true repentance and thereafter deny themselves to follow Jesus, sincerely endeavor to obey His commandments, earnestly seek His kingdom and His righteousness, and persevere until the end in true faith, purity, and love.
In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus describes the great blessings that accompany discipleship in His kingdom, but He also insists that His disciples will not escape persecution. Furthermore, and most importantly, contrary to some evangelists that preach that "getting saved" is one of the easiest things in the world, Jesus taught that following Him involves heavy obligations concerning righteousness, acceptance of persecution, love for enemies, and self-denial.

no. living according to a high standard, struggling with the self-centered messages that the world bombards us with, dying to our sinful nature each day, sharing everything we have with those in need, sacrificing comfort and possessions to follow Christ and glorify God in all ways...
then we get to watch pagans who worship money and all the things we've set aside, have lots of possessions, wear beautiful clothes, and have all that the world offers without gratitude but with lots of entitlement, while we make do with whatever God has blessed us with..thanking Him all the while.
being a Christian is about developing character...some of the hardest training that anyone can ever endure...full of pain and self denial...
Christians plant with tears, but we reap a harvest of righteousness with joy and laughter...it's crazy, but i wouldn't live my life any other way!
Christians, you know what i mean...
