"I choose God. The other choices are really the same choice. If you choose yourself you are choosing the way of the devil. He chose to make himSELF like God.
I choose God because He is good, He is love, He is all powerful, He is the Creator, the Sustainer, the Lord of Hosts, The Great I Am and the Prince of Peace. I want to spend eternity with Him. Need any other reasons? It's a no brainer dear."

In matter of fact everyone is 3! Those who say 1 are only saying it because they selfishly want to go to heaven and be in the glory of God. Those who say 2 are only doing so they shall not be the worst of in hell. 3 is obvious. And for those saying 4 (others) they are only doing so to make themselves feel good about it.
Another possiblity is noone/thing. This is the most selfish of all because you have no time for anyone!

Ah, to gain the glory of Divinity, shouldn't one give one's all to others? Or at least all of one's all one can afford to give? This is, however a weighted question, not taking into consideration the flaws in any human's concept of a perfect Divinity. The powers that be know my heart, and that is what I shall be judged by, what does it matter to you which choice I make, it isn't your decision where I go when it's all over anyway.

It depends on how you look at it.
In Judaism, we are asked...Is there any kind of spirit world?
Yes. Humanity lives in the physical world G-d created. Yet, there is a spiritual world where both angels and demons exist. Although they exist, and are in contact with the physical world, it is ultimately G-d who is still in control. I would call it the "Evil Inclination".
How would you describe God?
What is (he) like?
G-d is one and unique, G-d is eternal, G-d is incorporeal (without a body),
G-d is neither male nor female, G-d is omniscient (all-knowing), G-d is omnipotent (all-powerful), G-d is omnipresent (present everywhere),
G-d is merciful and just. Just as in Islam, Judaism denies any sort of Trinitarian G-d: G-d is one, and alone.
Think about the Ten Commandments before asking about choices. They were written for us YEARS AGO.
The Ten Commandments
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) I am the Lord thy god, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
2) Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
3) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
4) Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
5) Honor thy father and thy mother.
6) Thou shalt not murder.
7) Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8) Thou shalt not steal.
9) Thou shalt not bear false witness against they neighbor.
10) Thou shalt not covet anything that belongs to thy neighbor.

is 2 actually a real choice?
3 self because I'd rely on myself to get out of a jungle, God wouldn't show the way, the devil might just burn it down-with me in it still
so instead of lying on my knees I'd run in one direction till I came out the other side
as to glory God has enough of it and the Devil gets to much recognition (no offense Luke) so again myself on that

Why are there 3 choices.
There are only 2.
Without God you are nothing so there goes #3.
Satan looses so there goes #2
Anyone with half a brain with choose #1...to what end? Heaven

God because all that exists in this universe is God itself even the so-called evil/devil is part of God. God created everything that we see, hear, touch, breathe, etc. Self only has the illusion that it created anything when in fact it was God that gives the will for us to create things. That will can be taken away anytime.

4. Others.
God can take care of himself and doesn't need me to butter him up.
The devil is a convenient excuse for people to avoid responsibility for their own actions.
I myself am no better or worse than any other human being. I can do some things that other people can't do and vice-versa.
In the Christian gospel, Christ commands us to live lives of humble service. He even suggests that when we have done our best for others, we refer to ourselves as "merely useless servants". My "end" is to help build up the Kingdom of Heaven as well as I can manage. Otherwise, what good is "believing"?

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question, but I choose God. To what end? Well, for the sake of goodness and love.
