Dave, I'm really sorry that you're going through tis right now. OCD is quite burdensome; I liken it to having a kid that you have to take care of.
I have to agree that your ideas sound more OCD than delusional. I just think sometimes docs might overshoot the dx. You know that you're not _really_ condemned by God, right? And us ocd types do commonly have a thing about needing to touch things. It sucks.
You said an AP hasn't worked. So have you tried any _basic_ OCD meds? Serzone, Prozac, and Luvox have all worked for me or obsessive friends of mine. And for me, since I have a thyroid disorder, getting my thyroid in balance (esp. not too slow) really helps me to obsess less.
I believe you can get well; I did. I hope you find relief soon.
