Don't repent. Don't even think about it. You have no reason to repent, you have done nothing wrong. According to the New Gospel--which a few million folks besides myself embrace--you CAN do nothing wrong.
Banish any nagging, lingering fears of hell. There is no such thing. While you are at it, banish all your fears. Fear and guilt are the only two enemies you have.
If you have taken your position after long and serious thought, good for you. If you have taken your position merely to annoy or shock your parents and/or friends, you might consider that whenever you do ANYTHING to annoy someone else, you are in a real sense allowing them to manipulate you. Is that what you really want?
Love yourself unconditionally. Regardless of whether one embraces evolution, intelligent design, a combination of the two, or something else altogether--humans are awesome, wondrous creations. We are the crown of creation. We rock. However, many of us fail to live up to our potential.
Love others unconditionally, and treat them as you would have them treat you. Not because some god might punish or reward you depending on what you do--but just because it feels good. And feeling good--which I define as living in a state of power, freedom, and grace--is what life is all about.
At least that is what my life is all about.
