How to be happy? Live in a reasonably prosperous, democratic, socialist country, such as any Scandinavian country.

Well, he never struck me as particularly happy, so no doubt he agrees with some of Andrew Brown's comments (see above). His faith strikes me as being as close to fundamentalism as you can get in an Orthodox believer, and I reckon fundamentalists to be some of the most miserable old gits that you can get in Christianity, except when they're smugly reflecting on their being the elect of God.
