If god doesn't exist, then this doctrine, which you find disgusting, was created by men, and was popular enough to spread around the world and be followed at least nominally by 1 in 3 people.
Point is that your own argument indicates that people are pretty sick and twisted.
Reading the news headlines indicates the same.
Locally, there are still 28 hours and 54 minutes left of 2014, so it's likely I won't see a more thoroughly terrible argument than yours.
Christianity argues that all humans are wicked, evil, and deserve hell. No exceptions. Awful religions being man-made only proves that many people are ignorant, some of them are vicious and that most people go along with whatever is popular (or do so because it's not safe to do otherwise).
There are sick and twisted people in this world, but it takes a poisonous and misanthropic religion like Christianity to convince people that the overall human condition is worse off now than it has been at any prior point in human history.
