You have no need to apologize for your beliefs. If your beliefs offend someone, then that is their problem not yours. They have their beliefs, you have yours and there's no reason to think you have to alter yours or not practice yours because it offends someone else.

If you're unsure on it and cannot read their behaviors when they say it, then ask them. If your parents are loving and accepting of you, then all I can do is assume those names are meant to be not taken to heart.

This part I'm confused on. You say that you believe a higher power of some sort exists yet you then say that if it actually does exist, you'll suddenly change your beliefs. Why?

Perfectly acceptable. It may be a common belief but if you don't want to read it, then don't read it. There are many other religious texts and if you don't wish to read those, then that's fine, no foul no harm.

This applies to pretty much everyone. You'll find that those who are pressuring you will get annoyed if you pressure them into your belief.

There is: the theory of evolution.

Also women have babies, and go through all the reproductive pain and all that. Also in the old testiment it is mentioned that the wife should honor her husband? Nothing about the husband honoring his wife. I found that ehhh. Then...with the gay and bi sexual stand point. I have heard that God is not so happy about all that. Since in the bible it states a man will marry a woman or something. Just little things like that bother me.

Before you begin to analyze parts of the bible, you must understand that when it was written, the social norms, laws and views were different from today's views. So if you apply today's views to the views when the bible was written, you will find many conflicts. I view that some of the parts of the bible are simply reflections or snapshots in time of what life was like back then. To me, if it says "god dislikes homosexuals", then I think "the people at that time disliked homosexuals" because to me, the people wrote the bible, the bible did not magically begin writing itself.

You can also look at more recent times and still find the obvious gender role dimorphism and part of that may be due to how many cultures had men as the hunters, the leaders and aggressive ones whereas women weren't. Do take note though that this isn't true in all cultures as some have it in reverse and some have it as equal.

For god not getting married, well, this can be explained very easily. The first thing to understand is that god is not viewed as a human and marriage is defined as occurring between humans. That's the easiest explanation. Another explanation is, if god were to get married (extend the definition to include higher powers), then who would he marry? The christian belief states there is only one god in its belief so if he were to get married, then there would need to be another higher power and this just throws the entire belief system out of sync.

I got by Agnostic, but people keep telling me i'm something else.

Atheists disbelieve in god (you believe in god). Agnostics are unsure on the existence of god (you are sure on it). Christians believe in their god and I'm assuming you don't. If you want to label yourself, then go with deist, however, what you call yourself is not important. What is important is understanding what you believe in. Labels are there in religion simply to bundle the views into discrete "packets" and so what you call your belief doesn't matter. If you want, call it the belief of Lord of Inflated Latex Gloves, doesn't matter what the label is.

To go to hell or heaven you must believe in the belief pertaining to them. If you don't believe in it, then unless your belief has heaven and hell in it, you're not going there.
