Is there any point in being faithfull when you grown in sinner environment and when you got any use of reason youre told you were a sinner since the moment you were conceived, raised and that context and now results that you have to repent for almost everything youve done?
sorry if I am not very clear but there are somethings about christianity I can only express in my native language.

You don't quite have the Christian viewpoint correctly. Christianity does not affirm that you are a sinner before you were born. What it does affirm is that you are born with a sinful nature, meaning that you will do wrong things just like all the humans before you - people do not have to be taught to do wrong (Romans 3:23).
Christians vary in their understanding of the impact of this "sinful nature". Some believe you are held responsible for the nature itself. Others believe that you are held responsible only for the specific sins you will inevitably commit because of the sinful nature. Either way, humans are left in a sinful condition and need Christ.

well.... according to Islam a new born baby is completely clean from sins.
a Boy gets mature by the time he reaches 15 and for girls it's 9. after that what ever sin they commit they will be punished(later). also they have to pray 5 times a day and they have to fast during the month of Ramadan.
but before that age, what ever they do it's not a sin(unless they're real smart and understand what's good or bad at the age of 7(girls) and 12(boys) for example).
sinner before someone was born is not true. since you have to understand the meaning of sin first.

Original sin is one of the concepts that Christians have that really makes no sense according to the OT, in any way shape or form, that they seem to get ONLY from the OT... It clearly says that a child is not accountable for his father's sins, and yet they say that all people are accountable for one persons sin? I think this is why they needed to make jesus the way they did, to try to counteract the nonsense of everyone being blamed for one sin, they had to have one person "cover" for all sins... Both are very much not concepts I can find sensible.

We are all sinners because of Adam, we don't have a choice in this.
But the second Adam, Christ, defeated death (the result of sin), and we can change our heart, that was once ruled by sin, for a new heart (not literally, figuratively), that desires to be obedient.
It's all about Christ.
We sin, but we are forgiven of that sin because of Christ. If we are forgiven, then we can be in the presence of God when we die.

We are all in this together...all of us were born "in" sin or with a sin nature. We are not accountable for sin untill we have been given sufficient light and are convinced of our sin. We then have the option to repent and accept both the sacrifice and the one who was sacrificed for us.(Jesus)

Of course it doesn't make sense. If you accept that doctrine, it guarantees that you are "unworthy" of God. As if you wouldn't make enough mistakes in your life anyway. At the same time Christians will teach your responsible for your own sinful actions.

Read the Bible, there's not a whole lot about it that makes sense.
Sin and damnation are just vague terms used by people in power to control other people with less power.

No, that does not make any sense to me. You really should have stated "some Christians" because not all believe what you have said.

we are all born with sin nature,it is natural,when satan fell from heaven he was given reign on the earth,it's no different than doing your own thing and not thinking about the consequences,
