There is NOTHING that pleases God except perfection

You do realize that to speak of "pleasing" God is an anthormorphic and metaphorical way of speaking of God?

To hear one speak so "authoritatively" of what pleases or doesn't please God does make me uneasy -- it seems to claim knowing more about the mind of God than any creature can claim.

Why on earth should God care just because someone fails to do ONE sin?

Ah, the image of God as the busy executive who can't bother Himself with detail! ;-)

Does the parable of the one lost sheep ring a bell?

Rom 8:8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Non-Christians cannot please God. They are in the flesh. The Bible does tend to be "authoritative" from time to time. If this makes you uneasy then you should ask yourself why.
