I am not an atheist. I am just religiously confused.
That is a good point! But other religions can bring joy too, right?
Oh City_boi, Did you know that there are over 160,000,000 Christians in the world being persecuted today by muslims, communists, hindus, buddhists? they are verbally and physically abused through torture and death. Their joy is knowing the truth that there is a gospel and that one day God will restore his kindom here on earth and fix this broken world.
Sin brings joy too but like the bible says, sin only last but for a season along with the other religions you mentioned.
The joy is eternal life with our Father who is in heaven, our creator, our deliverer, our comforter, our saviour.

You are right, nobody is perfect and none of us are good only God, the bible says, ALL fall short of the Glory of God BUT even though we Christians still sin we don't still live a life of sin. We fall but we don't dive in.
When Christians sin we immediately feel the conviction from the Holy Spirit as oppose to when we didn't believe, that's what Jesus died for, So God thru his son's blood can see us as righteous even though we still sin once we repent of our sins and put our trust in Jesus, our saviour. That's the Gospel (good news) bro
When you become a Christian, the battle between flesh and spirit starts until we get our new bodies. OH! how great that would be!

Then you believe that Jesus who still is a Jew still hasn't found salvation?
There are messianic Jews, but I would not call them Christian.
