Uh. I'm no Christian. But wouldn't it be better just to let the past remain the past and not worry so much about it? We all do dumb things, there's no need to worry about them constantly. Even if there is a god (or gods) it doesn't seem like he/she would be upset if you messed up, really. And even if you didn't believe in him/her, and you were a good person, there shouldn't be any reason why you should go to some horrible place. Ugh. I shouldn't talk about religion. I start ranting.

KIIII. I'm not sure what your church teaches, but if you read certain verses in the Bible... I can't remember the ones unfortunately. Some of them are in Romans 3... you can learn how to be saved. Like, I was showed some verses, and this is what I found out.

1) You have to repent/ feel sorry for your sins.
2) You need to admit that you're a sinner to God.
3) You have to do it outloud. There's a verse that says something like, "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth thy sins... something like that. I forgot it.
4) Pray and ask Jesus to come into your heart and save you. :D

And that's it. Then you get baptised after that. I know that you're a good person, and I love that. I love you. <3 Just... read your Bible and see if there's any reassurance in there. If not, I have a book in my room that could probably help. <3<3

Er, that's the thing. Read above, "I'm no Christian." I don't go to church. I don't believe in original sin, or even a hell or heaven. I'm pretty sure I have my own beliefs all figured out. I wasn't trying to say that your ideas were wrong, I was just trying to state what I believed. I've never read the Bible, nor do I intend to in the near future. I believe in an earth-based religion, though I don't believe it has any sort of name for it. I'm sure I could find a million books on religion that could (try and) sway me one way or the other. I don't disagree with any religion. Your beliefs are fine with me, just as long as nobody tries to convert me, I won't try to convert them. I believe that Jesus was an awesome guy, but I think people looked too far into it. He had a lot great ideas, but I don't think he was the son of God or anything like that. Right. Done ranting.
