ok, god loves us all... Yet he lets us suffer... He wants us all to get into heaven, but he decides to mindlessley let us ponder around earth doing what ever we want. God want's us to be happy, but he restricts us from the things that make us happy. God exists, but he never even bothers to let you know he is there. God has everything, but he gives us so little. Why is that?

The Christian idea is not focused on getting into heaven. God is the chief aim and God alone. Heaven is just a place for those who want God to be with Him.
Our purpose is to glorify God which means to accurately portray His character which means we have to seek Him and come to know Him. The Christian idea is that we seek God and find Him through obeying His command to love our neighbor for where love is, there God is also.
I don't know that God places our personal happiness very high on the priority list. God allowed His Son to suffer a cruel, painful, humiliating death. That should show us that we may not get treated to personal happiness. Some things today that make me happy are different than when I was younger. I changed. God proposes to change who we are so our current ideas about happiness may not survive.
God has proposed that we become His sons and daughters. I don't consider that giving us "so little".

God does not cause our suffering.
He has allowed mankind to live life the way we choose and to do what we think makes us happy.
God's sovereignty was called into question (Garden of Eden) and as a result God has allowed that question of his authority to be put to the test.
We see the results everyday. Death, sickness, hatred, wars, greed....etc.
God has given us life. With that gift we have to make a choice. To complain about the problems and continue doing what we want with our life OR try to live in a God-fearing manner and live our life according to his standards.

thanks for this question.. the answer is simple.. God loves us and wants the best for us.. and thats why god sent us some rules and restrictions to take and follow.. so if u really look at what god's rules are, and imagine a life that applies these rules fully, u wont see any wars or poverty, or aids, or rapin or killing or lies, or hatred or anything that makes us suffer.. so since god loves us, and wants to protect us, those rules were set to makes us happy.. but are we really taking these rules and applying them..? no, then u can see how suffering life has become, leavin god's rules and puttin our rules has made us suffer,, we might enjoy it at the moment, but at the long run it made us suffer.. why god doest show us that he exists?, have u ever seen a bird fly, or a fish swim, somethin that really fascinated me, that when a cow gives birth to the baby cow, u d see that baby cow move directly to the place of milk, without any hesitation, without any experience, without anyone showing him how, or where to look..so how he would know that he needs milk to survive, how he would know where to look..? the simple answer is that God who created him and his mom, put in him the knowledge of how and where to look.. without god being there, he would have spent so long time experimenting to what he shuld eat or drink and where to find it.. so god has shown us that he exists by his creation, by givin us this wounderfull nature, seas, beaches, animals.. u d see the diversity of his creation and how they all know what to do, and how to work..and how to surive, and ud see that they have natural systems that depend on other systems, so how would all of this complex one dependin on other system develop if god didnt govern and control it..so what other proves u want to know abt god to believe that he exits.. all of this universe shuld answer ur question..
god has everything.. and has given us everything.. but some ppl's greed has taken the poors share..the whole purpose of this life, is a test.. to see if we will be good and do good, and have faith in god, even if we had hard times, and to turn to god when ever we need him and having faith in his rules and take them.. its a test to see who is good and deserves heaven.. and if u think of it,, we live on earth for only like 90 or 100 years top.. and then we will live in heaven or hell depending on how good u were on earth, for eternity, forever, for infinity.. say.. (1000000000000000000000000 years..).. so ud see that god, has given us everything for the biggest part of our lives, only if we prove to be good and love god, and have faith and believe.. and i think is this is fair... for all ppl.

come on..it is not a good idea to speak against God...even if He is good..you should respect Him...He is our master...He wants us to go to Him in freedome..not forced...
Once an old man meeting me on the way o church told me...that God is happy that all are against us..because we go to Him...that day..

how much time do you give him or did you spend trying to get to know him? and all this with a clear heart not clogged up and ofcourse not sounding sarcastic as you did so?

some blabla will tell you it's freewill and bla bla or that demon is that one confusing you.
however to me and you , it's pretty obvious it's either god are not just or loving like they claim it to be , or god doesnt exist.

Because either he doesn't exist in which case he doesn't deserve to be worshipped or he is a total thug in which case he doesn't deserve to be worshipped.
