Your problem is your going crazy over nothing. God will decide your judgement in Heaven. No need to worry about going to hell for not being a good Christian and doing all of that other stuff. Just keep trusting and believing in God and He will use you plus show you amazing things about Him if you let Him.

The answer is in your own question. The Bible says that our sins make a separation between us and our God. The Bible also says in James that whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes themselves an enemy of God. You claim to be a Christian but are living like the world so don't expect to have the peace of God in your heart. God allows you to be frustrated to smarten you up and to get to living like a Christian ought to live. Start reading your Bible and quit letting loose those few words and start developing your relationship with Jesus Christ as you ought to be doing.

I think you're still a long way from atheism. So that's not the problem.
Reading the bible -- really reading all of it, not just the Sunday School stories -- might be helpful, though not necessarily in the manner you expect. So by all means, read it.
And do something to take your mind off your own troubles. Volunteer to read to little kids in the hospital, or feed the homeless, or clean up a park -- anything will help.
Good luck.

The time is your problem friend. But God will correct that for you. What do I mean? Well, He has promised to do it: "I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes" Ezekiel 36:27. This is the new covenant bought by the blood of Jesus Heb 8:8-13; 9:15.
In due season you shall reap your desires if you faint not.

First of all take a moment to relax, nobody feels safe and secure and has it all together all of the time.
You are human and only God is prefect.
I would encourage you to get a Bible that you can read and understand a christian book store can help you out.
Trust in the Lord and take one day at a time and be encouraged you are a work in progress, take time to enjoy life and the moments God gives to you.

listen; i haven't been to church in three years. this is probably a very important part of you rlife though I am sure. Put it this way, I am also getting RLY frustrated a lot these days. I dunno what the heck it is either. You sound like ur about the same age as me so id guess its prob' jst growing up. dont worry about it that much. I mean, you can belive what you want about religion, but you don't have to stick to it. It all depends on what you choose to believe. I for example, technically am a christian but actually i believe in a mixture of all existing religions. I belive that everyone of them is true but that at the same time not of it is. It is very complicated and maybe I should right about it some day!
good luck frum urs truly

Why, would you feel this way. If you trust in Christ then you are going to Heaven. This is not a good site to place this kind of question, as you can see it brings out some ungodly responses. You should seek wise counsel from a Christian friend or Pastor.

don't get yourself down! trust me, there's nothing remotely wrong with you. i myself am a christian, and i haven't picked up a bible since i was asked to in a CCD class many moons ago, and i firmly believe that all you need to go to heaven, if indeed we're segregated as such when we die, is to believe in god. and i'm sure that even if you don't believe me in that, the criteria for going to hell has to be less strict, otherwise hell would be overpopulated. i mean, everyone who's ever died and never read the bible? everyone who's ever died and cursed? that's a lot of people! i'm sure the big guy's will let you slide.
peace out.

Like us all, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Draw nearer to God in prayer and study of the scriptures. Seek to learn more about your Christian faith. Take courses, read philosophy, logic, and theology. The more you know the more your spiritual armor will protect you from these frustrations.
