First sign of life is not laugh but it is cry. Pain.
We start life with pain. We experience lots of hard times in our lifes and it give us chance to grow and buld oursleves to become a good person like God want it from us.
And if we loose this game of life we should pay for it hardy and burn in hell for eternity.
Why God don't give heaven for free, if he is really kind and merciful beneficent?
Why God don't let us to grow in heaven beside him and not in earth?

if we loose this game of life we should pay for it hardy and burn in hell for eternity. It can't be true that people might burn in hell for eternity. God is not a cruel God; He is the humblest, gentlest spirit in the universe and beyond; He has all the power, all the cards, yet he judges no man (St. John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:), and his mercy endures forever (there are about 37 occurrences).
Why God don't give heaven for free, if he is really kind and merciful beneficent? Then we would just be robots, incapable of sin (I presume you don't want people to be bad in heaven), and, probably, incapable of anything lofty. If He has made the best of all possible worlds (if not, he could have done better, as everyone thinks they could do better), He has made it as easy for us as possible. The suffering that goes on must be a measure of the standard we are shooting for -- very tough: burned, skinned alive, fed to the lions, torn from the womb by guard dogs (really happened in holocaust.)
Why God don't let us to grow in heaven beside him and not in earth? I think He wants us to attain lofty heights of conduct in order to be worthy; to be like the angels. To empathize with people or animals pain, we must have experienced it. To never hurt anything, we must know what it is to cause them hurt.

It's about our relationship with Him.
Sin is the separation from God and other people by an act of our will. It is the result of things we have done that has offended them, breaking or hurting our relationship with them. If you look at the law, the commandments, they can be viewed in this way, summarized by saying we should love God and other people.
To make amends with someone we have offended, if we truly love and care about them, we would express our sorrow for what we have done, ask that they forgive us, and perhaps make amends or at lest repent to the point of trying to assure them that we will try not to do it again. Trust has been broken, and time is sometimes required to heal the wounds. You could say that the result of sin is death, either temporarily if the person we offend forgives us, or eternally if they do not. This is true of our relationship with God, and with our fellow man.
God provided a way for us to be forgiven, to end our separation from Him. That way is exclusively through the belief that Jesus is who He said that He was, and that He did what He said He would do. It requires the acknowledgment that we have sinned against God and others, that we be repentant, and ask for His forgiveness. This sorrow is an act of our love toward Him. It is an act of His love and mercy to forgive us.
Doing this, we begin a new life, enjoying a relationship with Him. We find that there is a living God, who not only wants to do this for us, but loves us so much as to adopt us as children under this new covenant He has made through Jesus Christ. There is so much more to this life than we can imagine when we realize this.

God does give heaven for free. We only have to worship him and believe
And guess what even if you fall short of "perfection" which EVERYONE does. God forgives you. Without it you would spend an eternity in Hell without a single break. Think about that.
And we do grow beside him "When you see only one set of footprints in the sand it was then that I carried you"
Do you not think that a baby's cry is not a cry for pain but a cry for joy.

Salvation is a free gift to all who come to God in The Way He prescribes... those who come to God in The Way will continue to grow in Heaven. This time on Earth is just the birth process. Real Life, for those who achieve it, is yet to begin

Primarily, I think that we need to understand the fact that Religion is the work of Man, not God.
The Judeo Hebraic Messianic Faiths [Judaism, Christianity and Islam] were born in lie, or perhaps the better word to use would be "legends".
When it began around 6,000 years ago, Judaism could not possibly have known the Answers to the Genesis of Earth, which happened millions of years before this "Religion" was even a Concept.
To simplify their Answers to why Man was born, they created Adam and Eve. [It might be interesting, at this point, to remember that there was Lilith, before Eve.]
From there on, they came up with stories to explain why a lot of things were what they were, none of which had any basis in fact, and that's what's caused all the confusion we know, today.
Frankly, I wouldn't worry too much about the tales they spun and blame God, who isn't the author of these works of fiction.
God amply demontrates the fact that He wants all His Children to be happy, in every event in our lives.
It's we who create our misery, for ourselves.
Try to follow the simple things that Jesus Christ taught us, in His Wisdom.
Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.
Ask, and it shall be given.
Peace.

Gaining entrance to heaven has nothing to do with winning or losing in life. It has to do with knowing we are sinners, repenting of that sin and believing in God's son, Jesus Christ, who died on a cross to pay for our sins.
It is true, there is much suffering in life. But if you give your life to Christ, you will know that any suffering you are experiencing is changing you into the kind of person God wants you to be. Please be honest and admit that anything worthwhile does not come easily. If you have God in your corner, even the most difficult things can be lived through with confidence. I pray you come to know Him, and His peace.

life is painful because of the original sin nature. Heaven was on earth in the form of the Garden of eden and your ancestors rejected it in favour of listening to the devil. Heaven is free to all those who foreswear sin and the devil and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

it's like giving a bad child candy. what have they done to earn it. life is hard. that's a simple fact. no one, not anyone on this planet has it easy. Heaven is a reward for those that want it. If you want a college degree, you have to work for it. what's the point in giving it away for free?
And, BTW, this question is not blasphemy....questioning is how we learn.
Take care...

(Revelation 5:9-10) . . .blood you bought persons for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”
Those who go to heaven are going to rule over the earth.
Also, God told Adam in the garden "in the sweat of your face you will eat bread, for dust you are and to dust you will return."
Nothing is said about a burning hell.
