I got that they're not telling you you are going to hell; I figured you meant that from the first. But if I knew my child had OCD, even if I believed in God I would never mention hell, EVER. Maybe that's just because I know what it's like to obsess over things. My point is that at some point you are going to have to live in the world, and hopefully you want to branch out, go to college, meet new people, learn new things. Your parents seem to be creating an environment where you are going to have a crisis every time someone you come to trust tells you something that goes against something someone else you trust told you.
Whether you are an Christian or not, you have to learn to find things out on your own and formulate your own opinions. It will literally solve the "whom do I trust" conundrum. You trust your own intelligence and rational thinking ability.

Either as a christian or an atheist.
I really think so.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
