I have attempted to live my life without fearing it, but could not. There is always the "what if I'm wrong?" question burning within me.
It becomes even worse since I am in fact a transsexual, and many of my fellow believers still believe I will burn in hell because of it, even if I do believe.
If you are serious here, and it is hard to take you seriously because of the massive 180 that you just pulled after 25 pager of incoherent idiocy, then why do you continue to subscribe to a belief system that conflicts with everything you experience in the real world? A belief system in which logic would dictate that the deity created you as a transsexual (something which has been proven to be outside of one's control) and therefore will torture you for eternity because of that fact? Makes no sense. Do yourself a favor, learn about what atheism really is, not what you've been told it is.
"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
