How to please God ? Can you bribe or influence God with money or prestige projects or is true love the only way to please God ?
Different religions and cultures have their own style to please God. Most religions try so by building large prestige projects, cathedrals, golden temples, pagodas or churches.

Golden temples and pagodas - to please God ?
Corporate projects to impress include large shiny administrative buildings to pretend prosperity. Such as the building below - pretending a help project from a foreign country for Cambodia. The very same construction material, efforts and money invested in such a useless prestige building might have been enough to build up to a half a dozen simple farm houses for poorest ones.

Prestige buildings even small ones are but a waste of resources to impress
How can you really create a love relationship with God? By helping the poorest ones, the unfortunate ones, the victims of abuse or victims of war. By being helpful in job and life and by being really useful to human society. But you never can impress, bribe or please God by shining with golden temples, huge churches or any other prestige buildings!

Simple farm house
The above little farmhouse may impress god much more than all temples and castles in this world because it shows a poor old farmer caring for his family and working hard to live without begging. To live a simple life but to work, to share, to be friendly and humble may impress and open God's heart far more than all gold and diamonds on earth together.
A few days ago I observed a single mother with 60$ salary per month sharing some of her money with children near the killing fields of Cambodia .... That definitely is of infinitely greater value to God than all prestige projects by religions and spiritual cultures on earth!
Only true love is the key to God's heart!
Love and bliss
