Why do people serve other gods that do nothing for them, but they are always serving their god?

There is nothing that people make as their god that is sufficient to sustain them. They are died, or have no life, but are memorials and statues and things to the eyes of people?

Update:

What makes you keep serving them? Is it a feeling only? Is there hope of eternity in them?

    False gods always require easy believism. You do not need to repent for your sins and can get away with doing some kind of rituals or deeds. In Catholisism this is easily seen. You tell your "sins" to a priest, and get forgiveness. No repentance needed, you just say your rosary and some repetitious prayers and you are forgiven. You participate in the Mass and passively get to be a partaker of the "real church."

    Everybody, in their flesh, love this kind of religion. You do not need to fight sin in your life, no need for true holiness and you can just embrace your ego and the darkness. What people seem to forget is that behind every false idol and false teaching is a demon. Demons are not fools, they know what sin loves and see to that everybody gets it. 1 Corinthians 10

    19 What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.

    10:19, 20 Idols and the things sacrificed to them have no spiritual nature or power in themselves (cf. 8:4, 8), but they do represent the demonic. If pagan worshipers believe an idol was a god, demons act out the part of the imagined god (cf. 2Th 2:9–11). There is not a true god in the idol, but there is a satanic spiritual force (cf. Dt 32:17; Ps 106:37).

    I serve Jesus and God because they've actually done things for me in my life. God took me for the filthy sinning atheist I was and changed my heart. He revealed himself to me and til this day he still does works in my life. That to me is enough to serve him.

    Hey, maybe they're getting something you dont know? Wow? You seem to know a lot about a lot of people. I find that suspicious, you probably really don't know what you are talking about.

    Worship and prayer--intercession--are a thought at first then they are tools to meditaion and speaking to God. Speaking to God is a little bit of a sticky problem. You could be called insane or psychotic, or you might fall on Satan's reception. If you purify your mind...God will not be confusing, nor will He be mistaken for another god, something that takes on the name. You can't make a mistake if you think on God whatever He means and ignore imposters. The gods of paganism or hedonism are temptations. Their character is attractive, because they are so full of unsavory and rogue elements. The reality is, there is One God to follow, and He is what you would call all powerful and all knowing.
