In "The Shiva Paradox" Shiva is very powerful and also hard to understand. The assertion is made that Shiva doesn't care about his follower's earthly welfare, but will happily have them die as long as they have come to Truth in the meantime. In other words, better to die enlightened than to live in ignorance.
Is this true? What facts do you have to support your Yes or No answer?

If you die enlightened then you won't have to be reborn right?

That could indeed be part of the reasoning. Good point.

So then all the "suffering" in this life would be meaningless?

It is because of the suffering you have the enlightenment, don't you think so?

When Sidhartha went out of the kingdom to explore, he suffered the suffering of his subjects. slowly it led him to to become Gouthama Buddha. To gain the knowledge he had to undergo all the suffering of life.

doesn't this example prove the Shiva theory....?????
