depends on where that happiness comes from, being happy isn't a sin...indulging and placing those aspects to being happy above the welfare, concern or consideration for anything or anyone but the satisfaction of the moment is when it becomes a sin, letting those earthly desires control you, is when it becomes a dire sin, Gd understands human mess ups, it just took Him some time to come to terms with His imperfect creatures and develop a way to remedy the oversight.

In Anne Rice's Memnoch the Devil the devil isn't such a bad guy. He's just trying to help God, and in much the same why I believe. If the Christian Religion is the right one, and we'll burn in hell for not being Christian then God's pretty fucked up. Either that, or we simply don't understand the Bible.

i'll go with not understanding the bible...

piers anthony's incarnates of immortality had an amiable satan figure to, i've never read any of anne rice's vampire books and don't know how she set up the system, but piers was pretty impressive with his heaven, hell and the incarnates in between.
