Again, if you spend a life pursuing worldly happiness, getting a wife, kids, filling your time with activity at the job, and doing all those things, then you'd ironically be slothful. You might be having the time of your life, but I'm just saying that as a Christian you've been given a higher purpose than not doing drugs, or scoring well in school.
We agree that its the mark of a Christian to feel joy at conforming themselves to God's will.
Not in the worldview no. Though atheists are still humans, and so, still have telos, which they can know through natural reason. I'd use that to point out flaws in their worldview mind you, but they'd still be doing it.
I disagree on this. We are more similar than we are different. There's hardly any difference between you and carpedm9587, in terms of what makes you feel happy and fulfilled lives.
