Because all people have sin and thus are not perfect.. Would it not be an evil thing to allow a human to live forever as an imperfect being ??? What a curse that would be.. Our current state of being must come to an end for us to be resurrected and transformed into Perfect beings.. Then we can exist forever and never die again as perfect beings 
I will be glad when God ends my life... I am sick and tired of not being a perfect being..

Yup, just like every teaching ever, the best way to keep record of it is through written language, which provides us a way to have a physical copy of something that was taught and eliminates the need to memorize it.
The "your teachings are from a book" is not a good argument : p Everything we teach and learn is recorded in books : p

During Jesus earthly ministry, He killed no one. He healed many, brought Lazarus back to life. He died for the salvation of the world. He offers eternal life for those who believe the Gospel.
God doesnt kill people. He allows people a choice and those people chose death instead of life.
The problem with the OP is he doesn't want to accept responsibility for his actions or choices or beliefs. Add that to the belief that the world or God "owes" him anything. Add the ungratefulness of not thanking God for life, the sun, food, ability to get on the internet, etc.
If someone choses to speed on the highway while drunk and crashes. Would you blame the manufacturer of the car?
Your body and life is the car. If you chose to crash it, don't blame the manufacturer.

Are you trying to learn about why and who God is? Or are you trying to disprove God's Word?
Have you ever considered you have not tried to have a true relationship with our very real God. How can you ever understand a person in less you spend time, true time with God through his word,church, other believers, elders, and prayer. God does speak to everyone in different ways but usually through the Holy spirit and answering prayer. But if your eyes do not understand the spiritual side of life then you can easily miss God telling you He Loves You and all things will make since if you give it time. Trust me it's beautiful and amazing once you enter that true relationship.

God speaks into the hearts of His children and open their eyes to see past the written words in the Bible to the eternal truths contained within. Many still have the veil like the Jewish leaders demanded Moses wear when they look,and read the Bible. You can't truly understand the wisdom contained until you have the Holy Spirit to teach you.
You owe it to yourself to give yourself 40 days. Ask Jesus to enter into your heart and pray God I do not fully understand but that's okay. I hear you died for my sins and I would like to grow closer to you. Help me understand your word and teachings that give extenal life.
Then the next 40 days find a church and get connected. Do small groups and attend every Sunday. Spend at least a hour or 30 min a day reading the Bible Genesis, Mark, acts, and Romans. Spend time in prayer everyday.
Most real people have asked your same questions I know I have but I did the research, study, prayed, and found elderly counseling from a preacher. Everything makes since and the impossible thing is to try and prove the Bible wrong. I guarantee you can't. Archeology, science, history, world accounts, eye witnesses, ancient scrolls, and just the concept that the Bible came to be 6000 years and fluently reads with one purpose in mind. To save all of mankind. Amazing! But you have to remember the Bible is a personal relationship book and not a history or science book even though it has plenty of it.

In the OT, God DID kill off a lot of people.... people who had so perverted what God intended them to do, that they were "un-fixable".
Societies do that today, with capital punishment.
Countries do that today, with wars.
It happens all the time with natural disasters.
It is very similar to a forest fire, or a brush fire.... when trees and undergrowth get too "out of control", a fire sweeps through and cleans it all out, so that new growth can occur.
Thinking that you could (or, worse, SHOULD) second-guess the almighty God is gnostic, or AGnostic thinking at its worst. "I'm going to figure out God through HUMAN intelligence"
Knowing God, and understanding Him to the best of our puny knowledge requires faith.... faith in something other than our own puny knowledge.... no matter what your IQ happens to be.

I'd like to ask you, are you offended by the fact that God kills people? To me it isn't really a big deal. If God killed somebody its because they deserved it and the world is better off without them. BTW I appreciate the fact that you made an account on here, I've been waiting for someone like you to make a post.
