GOD or Man's?
Do you care in pleasing yourself first or GOD?
John Calvin rightly called the human heart “a factory of idolatry,” meaning that faithful worship does not come naturally to fallen human beings. Sinners become idolaters because God has so deeply planted the need for himself in human beings that when we do not know the true God, we invent false gods, false religion, and false worship. God warns against such idolatrous worship in the first commandment: “You shall have no other gods before me.” The idolatrous worship of false gods is condemned throughout the Bible.
Thoughts?

I believe in One God and nothing otherwiswe.
I do not believe in pleasing God, but doing what is right and following the path of righteouness and truthfulness laid before me by Him. I follow it the way it has been told, not with the thought of pleasing GOD but as the only path in this world, the path to eternal truth.

Religion is a snare and a racket, as told by big brother.
It is all false religion and it is not even got a nice set of rules.
People worship other people who really don't deserve to be worshipped. Like sports heros and movie stars and models.
I talked to the president of the USA. So that makes me somebody?
We are all just people and your right we do need to worship god instead of the pharasees.

I believe in God; I reject Christianity.
John Calvin also taught predestination which states God already foreordained before you were born whether you would go to heaven or hell. Nothing you could do in your life (including repenting and being "born again") could change that. To me, that makes the 10 Commandments unimportant.

God always comes first.
When checking out many religions I found that most only pick what they want from the Bible and leave the rest alone. They don't want Truth, just their pride.
Yet the Bible says we should not have pride in us.

I do put other things before God, and I need to work on that.
