Happiness is???

Are Christians happier than others? If so, why? If not, why not?

A recent survey by the Per research Center suggests that Christians, evangelical Christians specifically, report they are happier than Mainline Believers and non-attenders.

The report is just the most recent survey to report that Christians and frequent church attenders are more satisfied with life.

take a look at the report at: http://pewresearch.org/social/pack.php?PackID=1

After all, we are supposed to possess the "fruit of the Spirit including joy and live an abundant life so I am not surprised at the findings. However, I also see many believers who are unhappy to the point of depression and anxiety so peace, joy and happiness are not universal.

All in all, Christians have a better support system at church and with God than unbelievers. When bad things happen to good people other good people are there to assist and we know that is key to a speedy recovery.
