Is God Altruistic? Is God Happy?

[Drich]

No, I'm using the definition you provided.  If you don't understand what  'disinterested' and 'selfless' mean, I'm afraid I can't help you. 

Read the scriptures you quoted.  God will provide all of these things if ask, if you search, if you knock.  That's not altruism, that's quid pro quo.

If you are using my defination as you claim then where did "disinterested and selfless' come from? 

God shows interest in that he has opened a line a communication where you can petition for anyting not only that promised to answer our petitions as if we where sons!

I can attest he has done this very thing for me which is my proof of god. this proof moved me well past any faith i might have originally needed!

Do you have a magical definition that differs from the dictionary definition of altruism I provided? 

If you do not know here's the definition provided by google:
the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.

Now show me where being encouraged to ask in the definition above, disqualifies any altruistic activity.

I see an offer statng if you ask for help God will give it to you as a father who give his boy a loaf of bread rather than a stone. In a sense not only is God being altruistic in your selected passage he is extending his giving with the love of a father to a child.

What monster would twist that into something evil or burdensome?

If God exists and created the heavens, earth, and all earth inhabitants then God owns us. Anything God does is taking care of His possessions. It necessarily follows that YHWH is not altruistic.
