if god is so great why not miss out the physical part of life and go straight to heaven. i mean what is the ppoint of reproducing and going through all that hardship and pain that some do.
if ged was wnderful we woud all be killing ourselves to go and see him.
don't give that crap about suicide being a sin, its just another convenient excuse made by ancient bible bashers as a get out clause.

There is no such thing as God - any one out there that says there is then ask them to SHOW YOU PROOF - none of them can - NONE OF THEM!!!

I relate to the typing vrs spelling aspect, but as for the main question. We, I believe, are put here for a reason. Our choices determine whether we return to our creator or are sent back to relearn from our mistakes. We were given choices as to whether we follow in the footsteps of what the creator as laid out, or to turn against all that is good. It is like looking at crossing the street. Do we risk it and go out into on coming traffic or wait patiently until we have the right of way. We either get hit, or have another chance, or we continue on to do what we are meant to do... Hope this helps.

Death was brought into the world by sin, simple as that.
For true believers, being on the earth and being tranformed into the people that God wants us to be is enought to keep us here, until He decides to take us to Heaven. Some people do take their own lives, Christians included, and it is a sin, but it does not give people the right to judge the person or their motive.

From the Islamic point of view, this life is a test.
God isn't just going to reward anyone with heaven. Do you think that Hitler would be rewarded with heaven (now I'm not to say, but it is just an example).
He has to test everyone to actually see who is willing to sacrifice things in this life so that they will have eternal bliss in the next life.

Think of life as a school and heaven as graduation. You cannot attend graduation without completing all the classes, from the very first one, till your senior year of an undergraduate program. If you would just be allowed to graduate without any knowledge embedded in you through studying, writing, using critical thinking, etc...you would not have grown as a person and would have the same intellect as a child. Now, how could a child be expected to do a competent job when they've got no education and their intellect hasn't yet formed?
In the same regard, when we are on the other side, before we come down and experience life in a human body, we make the choice to live life, go through its trials and turbulations in order to advance for God. I'm sure you've known people who have said that it took something very tragic (like a car accident, for instance) for them to turn their life around and become better people. When you look at a diamond, it is without a doubt a beautiful, perfect specimen, but the fact is that it used to be a plain piece of coal, which over thousands and thousands of years has been exposed to extremelly high temperatures which changed its chemical properties and made it into the precious diamond. A person's character is shaped in a similar manner. By going through pain, struggles, etc., we become more knowledgeable, sympathetic, kind, spiritual people.
There is a quote that says "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but rather spiritual beings having a human experience." This means that we are not our bodies - our true essence is the soul living within this shell we call the body. Just like standing in a garage doesn't make you a car, having your spirit inhabit human form does not make you simply a physical body. Since we are spiritual beings having a human experience, this life we're given is like our school and our job is to graduate from it by doing good, learning, and always improving. Only when we purify our soul and become truly good people in every way, then can we "graduate" and go to heaven. Heaven is reserved only for people who have went through "life school" and have come out of it good people. Why would God want incompetent people who are unkind, murderers, for instance enter a place like heaven? clearly that wouldn't make sense, so life is our opportunity to better ourselves and become worthy of going to heaven and experiencing God's awesome, unconditional love. Clearly, some people die being bad people, and one life is simply not enough for them to purify their soul and character, that is why it takes many lives (reincarnation) for a person to reach the state of soul purity that is deemed worthy of being accepted into a place of eternal joy (heaven).

God Gave you the gift of life, It up to you what you do with it.
May be some of us need to work out the only way to get to heaven is to live then die. I don't think we all go to Heaven and it's not up to me to decide who goes and who doesn't, That's why God Is Great.
There's nothing wrong with having something to believe in.

The answer to all of your questions or statements is because of the sin of man.
If man had never sinned, we could have had it your way. I mean going straight to heaven with no problems. That is exactly what Adam and Eve had before they sinned.

Life's a test , we all have the choice to live a good or bad one, we all know the difference between right and wrong. so it's up to each individual how we take the test.

The answers are within you.
You have to let go of all stereotypes you've been fed, let go of everything you think you "know". It's not easy, but it is doable. (And it's definitely one of the most worthwhile experiences you'll ever have.)
When you trun off the noise of this world, when you let go of the "knowledge" of this world, the answers will come to you.
It's as simple (and as complicated) as that.

To learn for one thing, if someone does not understand hardship how can they learn by it, your right about suicide that is a man made story. 99% of the problems that man face are caused by man, yet man blames God
