The conditions being that you can't life your own life in the way you want.
You have to be owned.
Then why did god bother giving people life in the first place if you have to live like a robot and not be your own person? Then after if you got to heaven you have to be a robot for eternity doing what your'e told or you get booted to hell.

You've got that right....
In order to receive the rewards of salvation in "the next life" (.... and what a preposterous notion after-death life is.) one must trade off his right to do do his own thinking and draw his own reasonable conclusions. He is also bound to keep all the rules of the "club" he's joining when he opts for the empty promises of God-belief.
It's just silly to call the demands of religion a gift when they are precicely the opposite.

Consider this illustration which explains why "conditions" are required......A family head may become a criminal and be sentenced to death. His children may be left destitute, hopelessly in debt. Perhaps their kindly grandfather intervenes on their behalf, making provision through a son who is living with him to pay their debts and to open up for them the possibility of a new life. Of course, to benefit, the children must accept the arrangement, and the grandfather may reasonably require certain things as assurance that the children will not imitate the course of their father. The requirements are not so difficult that anyone can follow them and the grandfather does not expect perfection. He expects them only to do their best.
The children are free to choose another path. If they do, they would not benefit from the provision made by the grandfather.
You are incorrect (as is many in Christendom) to assume that everyone who does not adhere to the conditions will be sent to "hell". Those people will simply not be able to live forever. The Bible does not teach eternal torment.

What God wants you to do is never a burden. You have free will. I am not a robot. Nor are you. You have no concept of life with God, or you would not say what you have said. Read the bible so you will get the info straight.

It's not like that. You have to see reality for what it is -- and you didn't make yourself or the world, and don't really control either. Thinking you are your own person is, according to Christian belief, an error of fact, like thinking tomatoes cause cancer or the sun goes around the earth.

You can live your own life. However, if you truely believe you won;t want to go against God! So you are telling me that you want to sin? That there is a commandment that you love to break more than God?

Your purpose in life is to take what God has given you and use it to the glory of God.

Remove God from the picture and it all makes sense.
