Why can't I have multiple lives?

Reincarnation seems like a much better afterlife scenario than heaven. Heaven seems boring. If I have new chances to do amazing things with each reincarnated life, I think it would be much more interesting.

Lets see you think that way after you're reincarnated in some war-torn backwater African village with a super ignorant mother,a deadbeat father with multiple wives, brother/sisters dead/raped at the hands of some warlord.

No TV/internet. No restaurants. No healthcare/education. No meaningful job prospect outside of the slave wage tannery. Just non-stop 100+ degree heat, dirt, thirst/hunger and biting flies.

Heaven may seem boring for you but a helluva lot better than being airdropped into such a location to live out 80 miserable years in perpetual ignorance and suffering.
