You don't need to confess to a priest to confess your sins.
You can confess the to God in prayer anytime.

There is no such thing as sin you sillwy wabbit.
The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.

God will always forgive. 1John 1:9 has no exceptions, thank God. If the Holy Spirit stops convicting you of your sins then your in a bad place, lets just face it were going to sin everyday so the Holy Spirit will be telling us. If we dont confess then our fellowship (not relationship) is broken, even after one sin. If you want to recieve all that Christ has to offer you spiritually, and if you want Him to be able to communicate with you positivly rather than negativly, make it a habit to confess as soon as you commit.

Confession to God who already knows about your sins, is acknowledgment to God that you HAVE recognized you did wrong. And Asking forgiveness is the only way to get it. Then YOU DON'T DO IT AGAIN!

When one comes to Christ, all of their sins, both the remembered ones and the unremembered ones are forgiven. God knows all of your sins, from the beginning to the end, and Christ died for them all.
After coming to faith, you should keep short accounts with God, by confessing to Him daily. As I John 1:9 says, "If we make it our habit to confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us those sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
If you don't remember all of your sins, that's okay, as that is what God's grace is all about. If you do know of sin in your life, and do not confess them, you have to ask yourself, "Why?" The answer will determine what your spiritual state is. You may be lukewarm or cold in your faith. That is a dangerous place to be, since God is more than able to bring you to your knees, and that is often an unpleasant experience.

Do you want to be a better person? When you say "knowledgeable" what do you mean? God "knows" your sins, you don't have to tell them to him. What the point is to "confess your sins" and do them no more. If you are truly sorry, you won't do them anymore. You will try to be a better person. You will screw up from time to time, you are not perfect. But you will learn from your mistakes. And if you learn, you won't repeat them. Oh, and for the "will He forgive me" remember one thing...He is your Father....would you forgive your children? As much as we love our kids, He loves us a lot more.

You don't have to confess in a confession, but you certainly have to realize they are wrong (the sins). Just being aware of them is not enough.

Mabe because if you pray and say I sorry for what I did he may but I think he will still forgive you if you don't tell other people
