I know that God loves the world - though I don't know HOW it's possible. People are pretty shitty, and there's no such thing as grace and nobility anymore.
What a punishment it is to know for fact that He is the One true God, worthy or worship and praise, and in the same breath, realize that His presence in your life is only so that the rest of the world isn't punished by your groutesqueness. I'm grounded to that back rooom, while there's a party going on. I can hear it, and people shout out, 'We love you! But you're still grounded!' I am ineligable to enter the Kingdom - heaven, whatever you want to call it, yet I'm still supposed to be kind and loving. I'm supposed to still be kind and loving to others, which is the right thing to do, even though I'm going to hell. I'm supposed to be a vehicle to bring Him to other people, even thiugh I'm not going to be with Him when the time comes.

i'm sorry to hear that you feel that way - that you don't have a chance of getting into heaven and being with our Father. i wonder what makes you say that - after all, not even the worst of sinners, not even those who are guilty of violating all of the ten commandments, are guaranteed a seat in hell. there is always redemption. there is always a road - through Jesus Christ.

I was reading something about my religion. Basically God allows a lot of people. The "invitation" list isn't short or that exclusive. God knows what is in your heart. I'm sure every religion has a set of "rules" and "limitations," I do not believe one has to follow every rule without exception. As long as your heart is in it, I think God is a pretty forgiving being. The prophets along the way basically told us that. Regardless of if you read the Torrah, the Gospels or The Qur'an, we're all pretty much safe as long as our hearts are in it.
I'm not leading anyone to a party I'm not attending. And if you're leading, then you are probably going to go with.

No one but God can tell you if you are going to hell. Try doing some reading on the inability of humanity to be able to comprehend the devine, I think it will help you.
