Or can I repent but not regret?

You can repent and not regret. I always told my kids not to do anything they couldn't morally live with. It's just between you and god.

No. Why would you be going to hell? It just means that you are not plagued with guilt over your actions. If you have no regrets, what do you have to repent? Repentance implies guilt. You would have to believe your actions warranted damnation and obviously you do not if you do not regret. It sounds like your values do not match whatever religion you think would condemn you for your actions. Perhaps, in reality, you don't believe in an angry, vengeful God.

If you do not regret your actions you will see no need to repent and you will not repent and therefore not be saved and so I suppose you are going to hell, I hope I am wrong.

No regrets does not mean you are going to hell. It just means that you have lived the way you wanted to and done things that you are happy with.

If you have no regrets, that means even if you go to hell, you wont regret it. So it's all good. :)

It's nice to hear you don't have regrets...
But everyone of us comit sins or we are born sinners.
So the punishment of sin is death and condemned to hell.
But Jesus Christ died for us He is the way going to heaven.
The simple ateps to do for you to go to heaven are:
A-ccept or Acknowledge that you commit sins.
B-elieve that Jesus Christ died for you and paid your sins.
C-onfess and call the name of the Lord Jesus by prayer.
Pray and ask Jesus Christ that He will come in into your heart as your Saviour and Lord invite Him now before it's eternaly too late.

In some religions... probably. Unless you've been a "saint". I'd say, don't worry too much about that and continue living your life. We can't all be saints. If we were then we wouldn't be in a war.

I'd like to look you up in hell -- maybe we can hang out. Could you provide the GPS coordinates of where you will be?
