Being monotheistic or to be precisely monotheistic in “Jesus Christ” would be the only way I can see “Hedonism” have any hope to fulfill its promise of pleasure. 

God claims in the Bible to have created mankind to Glorify Him, but He set it in such a way that it is our being satisfied in His pleasure that Honors Him the most. He created us to be pleasure seekers, namely in Him. He also claims and explains there are specific reasons why and how our great longing for pleasure can truly be fulfilled in Him for eternity while never exhausting it.

  God makes the profound point that one of the basic and main reasons for this is the fact that He is the ONE controlling ruler of all things with nothing or no one to ever disrupt or frustrate any of His wishes. That is why God is so happy. He is never frustrated. Every little or big thing He has ever wished infallibly comes about. Which none of us finite humans can relate to, for we are always frustrated. That is why being in heaven with Jesus Christ will be so awesome. We will be with an eternally happy God who will share that happiness with us. Now if there was more than one God you can easily see that none of this could be true. Even if the so called many gods got along. There would still be some stuff of which each of them would be frustrated about because sooner or later some of their plans would never come to being at all. Because of the other so-called gods making their own plans. Thus these so-called gods would not be infallibly happy. That is not the kind of persons I would want to spend eternity with. If that is the case Heaven would be a very scary, boring, and frustrating place to me.  This reason would be the same if there were no Gods.

Ultimately that is why I am glad I’m not in control because of the fact I know it is that Control which gives Jesus so much happiness which He will for eternity share with me. You have to realize no one will be perfectly happy unless they have absolute control. If there were many gods or beings then there would never be a time were one of them are perfectly happy. Meaning that the creatures happiness would be equally lacking too if these gods wanted to communicated this lacking happiness to them.

 God’s happiness does not end with His control, but the fact that He is Perfectly; Good, Right, Merciful, Beautiful, with unending wisdom and understanding, that all these things are working with His control, makes Him Absolutely Perfectly Happy.  Meaning the creatures to whom He shares that happiness with will be equally Happy.

The only way for a created creature to have complete happiness if this One absolute perfect moral God decides to share His happiness with His creatures. Meaning He share’s His infinite Happy radiance to his creatures to behold and enjoy.  Therefore our grabbing for independence is the one great killjoy that we must get freed from.  If we have an ultimate self-independence we will not have ultimate happiness. It is unreasonable to think otherwise! It is a contradiction to say one can have absolute happiness apart from being in absolute control, with a perfect glorious morality.

The creature’s happiness can only be as great as the one who created them. Here is a little article by Jonathan Edwards that is closely about what I just said. Here Edwards will explain that because God is the only God with absolute control and not only that but overflowing with infinite Glory, mercy, love, justice. Etc… then the creature if able to see all these attributes equally will find their perfect happiness. They must find their perfect happiness in beholding the infinite Glory of God in His perfect fullness of all Good, communicated as light in their souls to enjoy forever.  (1 Corinthians 2:18, through 4:7)

Jonathan Edwards--

"It is a proper and excellent thing for infinite glory to shine forth; and for the same reason, it is proper that the shining forth of God's glory should be complete; that is, that all parts of his glory should shine forth, that every beauty should be proportionally effulgent, that the beholder may have a proper notion of God. It is not proper that one glory should be exceedingly manifested, and another not at all. . . .

Thus it is necessary, that God's awful majesty, his authority and dreadful greatness, justice, and holiness, should be manifested. But this could not be, unless sin and punishment had been decreed; so that the shining forth of God's glory would be very imperfect, both because these parts of divine glory would not shine forth as the others do, and also the glory of his goodness, love, and holiness would be faint without them; nay, they could scarcely shine forth at all.

If it were not right that God should decree and permit and punish sin, there could be no manifestation of God's holiness in hatred of sin, or in showing any preference, in his providence, of godliness before it. There would be no manifestation of God's grace or true goodness, if there was no sin to be pardoned, no misery to be saved from. How much happiness so ever he bestowed, his goodness would not be so much prized and admired . . . .

So evil is necessary, in order to the highest happiness of the creature, and the completeness of that communication of God, for which he made the world; because the creature's happiness consists in the knowledge of God, and the sense of his love. And if the knowledge of him be imperfect, the happiness of the creature must be proportionally imperfect."
