Religious fears of damnation

I've been having some major problems. First of all, I feel that I sin too much. Let me tell you a few reasons why: For one thing, and probably my biggest concern, is sexual things. I commonly look at pornography both of a heterosexual and homosexual manner. I have been conflicting within myself for being bisexual. Second, I haven't went to church more then 5 times in my entire life. I have barely read anything in the Bible, even though I have purchased one. Third, I feel that I am very violent minded. I am silent and passive, but in my heart, I know that I feel extreme hatred at times. I commonly play videogames that involve killing, destroying things, destroying robots, or fighting. I don't know if that would really be a good enough sin, but it's a possibility. I've also had thoughts of just running away and abandonding everything in my life. But I am very concious about these things and I want to improve. I fear damnation every day.. I need some advice..

Wow, that is one heavy load you have there. My, my. Where to start? Sex is not bad, guilt is bad. So, just asking for forgiveness, you are forgiven. Believe it.

Anger is a defense mechinism. It protects you from what really weighs on your heart, pain, lonliness, disappointment, fear. You're searching for love. Searching for acceptance, searching for a place to be you. Not the 'you' everybody else wants you to be, but the real you.

Would you like to get more specific, or would you like to stick with generalities? You don't have to go to Church to find God. You only have to turn to source. Trust me when I say he has dealt with far worse than the likes of you.:D There is nothing wrong with having the spirit of a warrior.

In my beliefs, only you damn yourself. If you change, your damnation will change as well. Stop being afraid, and just live.

If you feel that christianity is not working for you, that it will never accept you for being violent, or bisexual, then don't accept it. Open your eyes and mind and find something that works for you. Don't be forced to do anything because it is the norm.
