Why no difference?

[CSMR]

Really? In what society would slavery be in any sense moral?

I would not consider taking slaves immoral in Roman society for instance (if treated well). Not the subject of this thread.

I would expect some sort of difference. I would expect a group of people who know the Truth to be happier and have happier relationships, at the least. There is, however, no evidence that this is the case.

I can see reasons for happiness and unhappiness. Happiness is not simple, as Jedi Christian points out.

This seems to me strange. If Christians are, in fact, the only group who has the Truth, why is this not reflected in the world in which they live? The fact that it's not would seem to me to indicate that Christianity is no closer to the Truth than any other religious belief (or lack thereof).

Rather more convincing evidence is that modern christianity is fragmented into countless sectariam cults on the basis of doctrines.... this is indeed damning evidence since the SIGN of a true follower of jesus Christ was given by John:

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
--also:
Ephesians 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth

Well christians simply don't have all the truth of God and knowledge of prophecy, even nearly 2 millenia on from Jesus' death, else they would all be UNITED in ONE truth of God ... Jesus put it simply:

Mark 3:24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

That simple observation shows that ,of all things, christianity itself is at least mostly not led by Christ [hence it must be at least mostly led by Satan] ...

This is not as disastrous as might at first seem, it is merely the fulfillment of prophecies in scripture about almost all the world coming to worship a false Christ figure [antichrist] 'in place of' [from the Greek 'anti-'] Christ Jesus, the falling away [apostasy] that MIST come first before Jesus returns:

2 Thess 2:3 ¶ Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
