I apologize for whatever happened to make you hate the Gospel so much.
I would encourage you to read "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist" by Norm Geisler and Frank Turek, wonderful Philosophical, mathematical, and scientific treatise.
Ultimately, the most profitable book would be the Bible, but that doesn't seem to interest you.
Romans actually lays out the theology of it quite well. Allow me to explain (no, is too long, I will sum up)
1. God is perfect.
2. The wage of sin is death.
3. God made a covenant with Abraham, In a covenant at that time, the penalty for breaking the covenant was death. Rather than allowing Abraham to signify that he would pay the penalty ( because, Abraham wasn't perfect) God agreed to pay the penalty for man's sin & die in our place.
4. This was followed by hundreds of years of people trying to be perfect on their own, culminating in us killing God because He tried reaching out to the lost rather than hang out in the nice people club.
5. Christ rose from the dead, breaking our bond to sin and death.... Point being, without the bad news (you're not perfect and will die) there is no good news ( Jesus died so you can live forever). As you said, no normal human being can avoid sin, but we have a bad habit of pretending we can.
As a Christian, the most loving thing I can do for someone is share with them the amazing loving truth that changed my life. The point isn't "you're gay so you're going to hell" it's "apart from Christ you will go to hell, just as I would have"

Trick question, bullets would make pampers useless, for that you want to use a standard diaper trap.
