What if god is actually interested in it's own existence, and by having people follow it's rules does god acomplish those goals. It's unconcerned with our suffering or happiness and exists soley for itself and it's own selfish reasons? There's solid evidence, there is hardly a lick of evidence that supports the probability of divine intervention. Either God does not care, or god does not exist.

Your reasoning is pretty solid. God is over-humanized by religions. And of course, there are those crazed folk who justify their terrible actions by claiming God told them to do it. Very confusing.
Look at Paul on the road to Damascus, for example. Here was a guy who did nothing at all good for Jews, hated them. Then suddenly gets a brainstorm and takes over an Essene messiah's message, bends it to make it into a Greek mystery religion of a dying and resurrecting God/man (like they had back in his home town), completely un-Jewish. Told everyone God told him to do it. May have even killed the messiah's brother, James, who was preaching against him.
Yep, strange days.
In my two direct experiences with The Ineffable Light, I found love and acceptance. Did not seem that It was doing a lot of judgement. I really did not get the feeling that The Light cared a bunch about the day-to-day affairs of the creatures we call mankind. We are loved, unconditionally, but whether or not we ate pork or said our prayer was immaterial.
That was my experience. I might be wrong. If someone can show me scientific evidence of the value of prayer or a particular religion, I wll be happy to look at it.

The creation truly in elementary words has one purpose. To reason useful rational human beings to flow looking and the wonders surrounding them and say "there should be a God." wondering that you detect out about the universe once you truly do not realize some thing about it has no fee in any respect. If technology is difficulty-free and impartial it is going to finally detect that in the starting up God created the heavens and the earth.

God exists! human beings alone cannot create an idea that a God who is perfect exists, because we are imperfect and we have limitations. there's aconcept that God exists because that idea was implanted within us. And i don't think that it is fallible.
I also cannot imagine that God is not concern with us. it can never be! yes its true that He created everything for Himself! but He loves us. there's lot of things to prove that God loves us. it's impossible to assume that God is not concern with the world

I don't think God is someone or something that you can imagine or guess his actions or reactions. he actiualy isn't the way we think. God doesn't have any personality. he has created personalities. no creature can imagine it's creator the way it is. human only feels God motionaly and mentaly. (humans logic searchs for God).

the flaw in your reasoning is that you see "It's own interests" as being separate from our world.
again, remember the perspective difference between God and us... its radically different.
I think your still over-humanizing God, and not appriciating the difference of perspective.
all things have their time and their place.
