I feel like I'm going to hell, for being human. How can I enjoy my life without being burdened by God's guilt?

In Islam we believe that "man" is honoured. Original sin is fabrication of st. paul.

Actually, this is pretty simple. Live life as God intended. Although (it appears) you will not have the opportunity to enjoy *all* of the things that you enjoy now, certainly life as an obedient Christian is not without joy. You are not going to hell for being human. If you are "going to hell", it is for being less than Christian.

Well, I would be considered Christian but I no longer go to church or care for religions. I do believe in God however. People should just do the right things because they want to do good, not because it is a rule in the religion. God is all about positivity. Do you think God would want someone following his ways to be unhappy in doing it? You do not NEED religion to be a good person. You don't even NEED to believe in God to be a good person. Tolerance is the key. If everyone let other people believe their own thing there would be a lot less hate and wars.

Stop betting on Pascal's Wager.
Christians sometimes proffer Pascal’s Wager (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wager ) suggesting to non-believers that they should accept Jesus (John 3:16) as some sort of insurance policy against hell, just in case it turns out god really exists. The fallacy with this line of reasoning is that faith in god for some reward or to avoid punishment is not faith at all. It is a selfish act to receive something in return for a belief. The point of religious belief so that one becomes a better person, not to receive a reward or please a spiritual being.

Don't let the devil win the fight your in the bible states that everywhere you go your in a fight with the devil the feeling you have is a demon that is whispering in your ears thoughts of temptation like why am i this or why am i doing this my sister in law told me once don't think what god wouldn't think about pray to god and ask him to find something in your life to help you move forward in life and not back.

Read "Letter to Christian Nation" by Sam Harris
"The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins
"God is not Great" by Christopher Hitchens
Think about what you have read. At the end of it you will have restored your faith, stronger than ever, or you will be an atheist.

believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.
all of that guilt has been paid for on the cross. you need not feel guilty anymore if you have Jesus Christ enthroned in your heart.

lb_centaur is absolutely right.
redefine God to exclude christian assumption( this includes dropping jesus and the concept of hell and replacing them with ideas regarding the Natural Laws of Nature)
christianity is a cult that uses terrorism (threats of hell) to get you to submit to a way of life you would not live if you weren't forced to.
you are right. you are a human. be one.

Read through the book of I John and examine yourself to see if you are even in the faith. If not, ask God to regenerate you so that you can see yourself in truth (evil depravity) and repent. Ask God to remove the heart of stone and put in a heart of flesh that loves to obey Him and walk in righteousness.
Listen to this sermon by Paul Washer on examining yourself:
