My mum spent 12yrs imposing christianity upon me.
Believed at first, then anout 2 weeks after I had been confirmed, I had a long chat with "Father Roy" and decided to 'opt-out'.

From you saying 'confirmed' this would appear to be Catholicism, I'm a little confused as to how you had Christianity 'pushed' on you if you had Catholic teaching.

At no point in the bible does Jesus get everyone to start erecting buildings to go for worship, nor did he ask anyone to collect monies on his behalf.

Again this sounds like a Catholic (or EX catholic) point of view. In the early days, a 'church' was just a collective of people, as oposed to a building. Money was to be collected for those who need it, not for Jesus. I've certainly never heard of anyone collecting for Him.

God is all forgiving, so long as you truly repent.
Picture this.....
Spend my whole life 'sinning' (smoking, drinking, swearing, womanising etc.) no real bad ones, no murder etc. Now, when I die, I find myself in front of St Peter being judged for my life.... Believe me, with St Peter standing at the gates to God's pad, I would truly repent.

Too late! The requirement is that you repent
before you get off'd. That you would need proof (ie standing before the pearly gates) to repent kind of defeats the objective.
