As a Christian trying to get back to my faith and a Buffy fan this was a great read.
I agree that we have the desire for immorality hard wired in us so we will seek out God but we get lost in our gathering of days together and counting what we have and don't have. We stress ourselves out seeking perfection and out doing the next guy, instead of enjoying what we have.
Angel is stuck in the "what I don't have" loop. Sulking and brooding and punishing himself for what he did refusing happiness.
Like you said Spike is in the now having fun, enjoying the "happy meals on legs." When he loves someone he goes all out giving himself over to it, when he fights he does the same dives in giving it his all.
