Well, if you are really talking about God here, then I have good news. In every major belief system, God forgives just about anything. There are a few exceptions. For example, Catholics will tell you that suicide is unforgivable. Protestants will mention that Jesus talked about an "unpardonable sin" (Mark 3:28-29). But most are unsure exactly what that means. It seems clear from context, though, that it is a direct offense against God, and not something you do to someone.
The big question, though, is how much can you forgive yourself for? If you have really done a lot of terrible things in your life, your biggest obstacle is going to be deciding if you are worth forgiving, and do you have the nerve to approach God and ask for it.
It's an easy question to answer, but it's a hard answer to put into practice. If you really want to reach out to God, you are going to need the support of at least one person that can act as a guide. Not because God requires it, but because it's a hard journey to make alone. If you can find someone that already has a relationship with God, AND can look past what you have done to see what you can become, then ask that person to help you. If you don't know someone that fits, you might be able to find someone here, depending on how much you trust them or how anonymous you think you can be.

Yes, now that you have recognized that you have sinned and taken responsibility for it, you can ask for and receive forgiveness. And there is no limit on what can be forgiven - no chart that says you've stepped over any perimeters. That's why you will see death row inmates who receive their last rites -- some do not want to die without repenting and being forgiven by the Lord. Once you do that though, you are re-born and have a responsibility to try to 'sin no more'. It's a huge step and God knows that even after He forgives us, and we are 'new', we still have a human tendency to sin and to make mistakes. The difference is we can't just do whatever we want and still continue 'bad' behavior and then just think it doesn't matter because we can always say we're sorry. So it's a big deal once you have your epiphany -- you need to make sure you're ready to be a new person! Worth the effort - for sure!

God can forgive anything if you truly repent and try not to continue in the same things. I heard it said once that the only difference between us and the worst person in the world is a couple more bad decisions. God's hand is not to short that He can't each any of us. His grace is there for the taking all we have to do is have faith in Christ and strive to live like He did. We all sin it is only by His grace that we are forgive.

If you're really into the whole god thing; In theory his is the holy father. He's sort of obligated to forgive. I find it hard to believe any father could be all hellfire & brimstone as many like to believe. :-)
Would you forgive your children?
Of course. On the other hand; regardless of the whole issue of heaven or hell... If you've lived this life being a crappy person then you've really wasted your one shot at a great gift, haven't you?
Maybe it's time to turn things around? I'd leave god out of it. If you're going to be damned you may as well be damned for who you really are.

It doesn't matter what you have done in life. What matters is that God loves you. Just as you are right this moment, God loves you. Because of his love he offers you the gift of forgiveness. It isn't something we can earn; it is a gift of love that we can only accept. If you want forgiveness then you are forgiven and freed from your past.

God doesnt hate you for what you did. But everyone has to suffer the consequences. He will forgive you.
If you're really not happy with what you've done in the past just ignore it and start you're life new from today.

He can forgive anything except unbelief in Jesus as your Savior. David and Moses were murderers and forgiven. Saul (Paul) persecuted Christians and became a crucial person in the spread of Christianity. Have you sinned worse than these men?

The only thing God will not forgive is blasphemy. Whatever you've done, go to Him and ask for forgiveness. Don't do the same things again. Follow the ways of Jesus. God bless you today.

Instead of worrying about a god forgiving you, how about if your actions hurt anyone? Have you asked them to forgive you? Have you forgiven yourself? I do not know what your actions were, none of my business. As long as you are not beating yourself in the head over something so trivial such as saying a bad word or something.
If you are seeking to become a better person, I believe it starts when you admitt you were wrong and ask the person(s) that you have wronged to forgive you.
