To all Abrahamic Faiths:
Why in the teaching of your faiths, did god create us humans (if there was any mention of it). I would rather I am not created to this world of pain or in order that I may know and become one with him - or whatever.

Just a quote here from the Bahai Faith: The purpose of God in creating man hath been, and will ever be, to enable him to know his Creator and to attain His Presence. To this most excellent aim, this supreme objective, all the heavenly Books and the divinely-revealed and weighty Scriptures unequivocally bear witness.

According to Rev 4, it was for His pleasure.

Apparently He thought that you were worth having personal relationship with. If He hadn't created you, then He wouldn't have had that opportunity.

From the LDS perspective, God created us so that we might have joy. His reason for having created us was entirely unselfish. He wanted to give us the opportunities we would need to fully realize our potential as sons and daughters of deity.

An opportunity need not arise, if we were not created (which I don't believe I am). But, also could you elaborate on what you mean by who are the "sons and daughters of deity" please.
