This really depends on which view you look at it with:

If we are speaking of the accountability of the lost sinner to God, then NO, none of their actions are pleasing to God.

If we are speaking of God carrying out His eternal plan, then yes, they are accomplishing His purposes and thus in this manner are pleasing to Him. But, note they are still responsible for their evil actions (Acts 2:23).

Joe,

That's an interesting point. I'll need to think about it for a while. I'm not sure I have a clear idea of quite what you mean by "in this manner are pleasing to him". I know it's in reference to "God carrying out His eternal plan". Let me push it to the extreme a little. Take a mass-murderer for example. Of course, every time he murders someone, he is carrying out God's eternal plan. So could you explain a little more in this situation what you mean by "pleasing to Him". I mean, are you saying that the sinner himself is actually pleasing to God, even though he is still sinning and is morally responsible for his actions, because he is accomplishing God's purposes?
