really do we do things just to make God happy about us?

The simplest answer could be derived from the sense, and the reason, that we are here in His magnificent world of God. This world, I say is magnificent, even though I have nothing to compare it with, and also by the virtue of the fact the human life is shared existence in which, as I often realise, that there are people much better than what I am so far, and therefore this is a better place of possibly many a good people. The world therefore is a considerably reasonable and potentially much better place than I have ever dreamt of.
So if I, like many other people, am in this world alongside many other great people then this for sure is a privilege, especially with an imaginary situation in consideration where I could have been in a world all by myself. It therefore is a privilege. Privilege to be alive and not just alive but also to be with many other people.
If this then life is a privilege the comparison to which is not to be found anywhere then this can also be true that the God Almighty who is at the centre of the great circle of life is not only the creative but also the sole connective force in entire human existence. And He considers me worthy of being a part of His creation, and he grand network of human kind, and the rest.
It is like if I have been given a job in an international or universal organisation, or if I am deemed fit to play the part of being me, that is me in this world. If you come to think of this it could have been just about anything else playing this role, being exactly what I am now, without me ever realising that this is happening, or that person ever realising that he in fact is not he, but entirely me. And if I am ever going to get to know myself as I am, and get myself out this dilemma, out of the labyrinth of doubt about my being then this sure is to be done by the love of God, and though that love by the love His created men and women.

Hmmm...it depends on what kind of God is the God that you believe in. If it's a vengeful God, then s/he would surely like you if you're loyal to all His/Her dictates, praise Him/Her all the time, etc. If it's a loving God, then, I guess whatever you do s/he'll still like you. If that God is just the Creator God, then being suicidal won't endear you to Him/Her.
Not really. We do things because that would make us happy. Honestly, you don't think about God every minute of your day. Most people remember Him/Her only when they are distressed or something. It's the trend also to worry about making God happy when we are nearing our deathbeds. That's my opinion of course.

Just always do the right thing and you'll be sure that God likes you. I think that God likes everybody. It's just that, sometimes, He doesn't like the things we do. He loves us, but he hates our business........ That's just it.
And also, many of us, since a lot of people in the world our Christians, if you'd focus on the statistics....... That means that many of us do things to make God happy about us................. But, not all people do that..........

Who does do things just to make god happy?
I thought all these serial killers and mass murders on death row "repent" just before being executed so they can be forgiven? Meaning you can do what you like.... as long as you are sorry before you die.
A lot of so called "Christians" like quoting bits of the bible, but are hypocrites... who do not follow their own advice. And what about all the Catholic Priests who raped and sexually abused young boys??? Are they thinking about god, or trying to make him happy? Err no, I don't think so.

God loves you and always hopes you understand this and change for the better.
He'll be happier if you know the motive of all your doings and can differentiate right and wrong

you know what is good and bad... and for that, whether you're a believer or not... deep inside... you know WHO likes you better - the good One or the bad one?
So, WHO are you making happy with the things that you do? (^_^)

Because he brought me up to this world making me understand, connected, and appreciative of the life i have good or bad.
and most of all, He continues to give me strength to accept things i couldn't change, and help me live my life the best i could full of struggles or not.

God goes far beyond liking us. He loves us.
First, He created us in His image and likeness.
Second, He sent His Son to die for our sins.
Third, the Bible speaks repeatedly of His love for His creatures.

is religion so ingrained in humanity that if I had somehow found undeniable proof of gods nonexistence, would people even care?
I struggle to think people would be reasonable in the face of such proof, yet i dont think that in reality people would just abandon religion. (thats an assumption, yet if its true, really shows just how much religion isnt a search for truth as it is brainwashing)
There would be a fatwÄ out on me for sure.
