why do we die?

seems kind of a waste to put us together just to toss it all away after a few years.

Not in your case.

We are given the gift of death so that we aren't eternally subjected to silly questions.

You are assuming that this life is it.

why put us through this life then? Why not just send us straight to the afterlife?

And no i'm not assuming this life is it. That's your assumption based on statements I did not make. Reading critically will help you later in life when you grow up.

judge not lest ye be judged, no? Or are you one of those folks that defends the teachings of the sacred text but then eschews those same teachings whenever the god of sarcasm grants you a moment of clarity....?

Well looking at the fall of man and the angelic host we can be saved, the devil and his angels cannot be. Death as terrible as is serves as a stopgap of sorts. Without which we would more than likely go straight to the afterlife and not enjoy it at all.

are you trying to say without sadness we would never know happyness?

Wouldn't it be more correct to say that we would be happy but wouldn't know there was something other than happy?

No Hell was designed for the devil and his angels we would have joined them immediately.

Physical death is part of life. However our souls are not physical , they have come to this plane to learn lessons.
The universe is one big classroom.

We die because Adam our forefather disobeyed God and came under the authority of God's enemy. Death enter into man because of this rebellion of Adam and his subsequent attachment to the opposition party that is against God.
