(Galatians 6:2) which is to, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:37-40). If we do these two things, we will be fulfilling all that Christ wants for us to do, “This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3).

Some will object to the claim that God sometimes wants one thing and yet does another. They would assert that this would be a contradiction. But it is not since God has obviously done this. Is it a contradiction when a judge wants to show mercy to all people but orders that criminals be punished? Is it a contradiction when the judge says to a murderer, "You shall not murder!" but, according to the law, sentences him to death? No. Though the desire and action be different, there is no contradiction at all. The judge is under obligation to keep the Law. . . and so is God. He must remain true to His revealed Law which is a reflection of His divine character. After all, God is just and must punish sin.
To further illustrate the point that God can ordain something different than what He desires, please consider the scriptures below.

All religions have the same message. Honor thy neighbor. Treat others as you would you want to be treated. Follow that and you will be happier and more satisfied with life.

Well, He wants you to care enough about the answer to this question, to make it the top priority of your life. Jesus says, if you seek, you will find. I seem to detect a peevishness in your question. Maybe not. But don't look for God in Yahoo Answers. Maybe I'm proof of that :)

Mic:6:8: He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

it was written long ago that there is only one pure and perfect religion before God..and it has only two things in it .. to visit with widows and orphans during the time of their affliction..and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

What God desires of us is goodness, compassion, kindness, nobility, love, justice, charity and peity towards our fellow beings and His creation. These virtues kept in our minds and our hearts, are brought forth by our everyday actions.

Fear God and Keep His commandments.
To fear is to hate the evil He hates.
To love is to obey Him.
Love Him with all of your heart, mind, soul and strength.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Easy done.
If you fail as we all do go to Jesus.
