17. A Christian student in my class --

in a debate about religion -- unavoidable, as we had had a guest speaker who was an evangelical Christian Green -- one of the two students self-identified as Christian said, "Atheists lead joyless lives."

I have the experience to attest that this is not so, since I am son and husband to atheists who did/do not be any means lead joyless lives. And I recall the Christian kids I grew up with, who lived in the constant belief that they would be tortured for eternity in hell -- could not be good enough to escape that fate. At least atheists don't have to worry about hell.
