Pardon my language, but I'm so tired of Christians coming here thinking we have no idea about what Christianity is all about. Crap, I'd been one for the first 30 years of my life, so I think I know Christianity inside and out. And if I really did have any questions, I'd seek out a Christian forum or some Christians in real life and go ask them.
Perhaps that was the problem, you have been a "christian" your whole life and never got to know God.
Being apart of christianity does not make one a Christian. That title is not something we elect for ourselves by our deeds or adherence to the rules of a given religion. It is a gift given to us by God based on the condition of our heart.
That means you could have gone through the motions of the christian religion for 50 years, and still never know God.
See this is what I mean by clarity. You thought/think christianity is something you have complete control over. When in fact the only thing you can control concerning Christianity is what you do with your Sundays. God determines who is save by faith, we are not saved by going through the motions of a given religion.

To my mind it would look like this one.
