You really have nothing to loose - except lusts, passions, and greed. The love of God sets you free of these things. You gain the FREEDOM of an innocent child.
Granted, people have sinned and done all manner of evil in the church. Granted, not all of the bible is easily understood. Are these really valid reasons for rejecting Christ and Heaven? No, they are not. Because, you cannot justify your actions on the mistakes of others. And to understand the bible takes faith, prayer, and time - it is simply a matter of education.
The question is: what is it that you love so much, you are willing to go to hell for it? Honestly, what are you afraid of loosing by asking Jesus into your heart?
Didache 5:1, 2 (written approximately 85ad by the Apostles)
But the way of death is this. First of all, it is evil and full of a curse; murders, adulteries, lusts, fornications, thefts, idolatries, magical arts, witchcrafts, plunderings, false witnessings, hypocrisies, doubleness of heart, treachery, pride, malice, stubbornness, covetousness, foul--speaking, jealousy, boldness, exaltation, boastfulness; persecutors of good men, hating truth, loving a lie, not perceiving the reward of righteousness, not cleaving to the good nor to righteous judgment, wakeful not for that which is good but for that which is evil-from whom gentleness and forbearance stand aloof; loving vain things, pursuing a recompense, not pitying the poor man, not toiling for him that is oppressed with toil, not recognizing Him that made them, murderers of children, corrupters of the creatures of God, turning away from him that is in want, oppressing him that is afflicted, advocates of the wealthy, unjust judges of the poor, altogether sinful. May ye be delivered, my children, from all these things.
[Lev 15:16] 'And if a man has an emission of semen, he shall bathe his whole body in water, and be unclean until the evening.
[1John 4:20] If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
