Because, deep down, they know that there is no heaven. Ortherwise, they would do just as you suggest.
They covered their bases by declaring suicide a sin.

Some people know Heaven exists and is wonderful, but they can't tear themselves away from the world. That is to say, they are too attached to worldly and material things. If you have a Bible, a good example of this is Matthew 19:16-30.

A very good question!
People avoid dying because they find sufficient reasons to stay on earth alive.
One thing is pleasure whether is sensory or otherwise - you should be enjoying and not wasting it!
Another thing is, why hurry - heaven can wait,
Still another thing is, I have my loved ones here - they love me and I love them.
The list can go on and on but still - heaven can wait because it's an eternal place!

Who do you know that is trying 2 avoid dying.Maybe the people whos souls arent saved and are gonna go to hell and not heaven. And gay people wont go 2 heaven if there souls arent saved. Christians dont say gay people are gonna go 2 hell because they are gay and if you know people who say that then dont believe them. But in the bible it does say liking the same sex is a sin. But no1 can stop gay ppl from being gay they arent just gonna stop and the world isnt gonna be perfect until Jesus comes again and makes the earth new.

First of all, dying and committing suicide goes against our human instincts for survival. The fairy tales of heaven and hell were created by our primitive barbaric ancestors to explain the unknown universe around them and their constructs are hard to believe when faced with reality....although it would be nice to think that we'll be seeing our long dead relatives or will be able to live an eternity in bliss..... without proof, it's just fanciful thinking.

Because people don't want to die and leave their loved ones all alone. Dying is a scary thing....and even if they believe in Heaven...there is always that "What if..."
