If I can't avoid sinning in this life, like no matter how hard I try, how much I love god, then why do I deserve to be punished? Why do I need to be forgiven for something I literally can't avoid doing?

The issue is adhering to their concept of sin, which is essentially made-up nonsense.
You ever hear that quote where the only real sin is harming others unnecessarily?
"Never trust a fox. Looks like a dog, behaves like a cat."
~ Erin Hunter 
Sin is nothing more than a priestly construct designed to control people through fear and guilt.

I think the real question is why should you or anyone be responsible for anything here on earth when you had no freewill choice to be born into a world that Satan has power and influence over your thoughts and actions?

I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
If only a competent god had made humanity(according to Christian myth) One that dd put a world dooming tree near of pair of adult children.

It's a good question, but it can be better explored without reference to sin or gods.
Take a severely unwell person, who kills another person as a consequence of their illness. Let's imagine they very much loved the victim. Do they deserve to be punished, and can they ever be forgiven? Should they get exactly what they deserve...or should we treat them more harshly or less harshly than they deserve? Do they need any of this, or is this for us?
