I love my fellow man and to see those of my condition torturing and killing each other is beyond my capacity to comprehend. It's hard enough to survive without that kind of opposition.
Your statement here would be impossible were there no God. If man were just a product of chance, how would morality be possible? Would not one man's morality be as good as anothers? Would not George W. Bush's morality and Bill Clinton's or Osama Bin Laden really be equal since it really is every man for himself, with no God to account to? You may believe in God. If so, that is a good start. If you do, however, you owe it to yourself to TRULY INVESTIGATE what is true. Take for instance the Bible. Instead of callously dismissing it as uninspired and saying you don't care what it has to say, look at its claims. Is it consistent with the world we see today. The central truth of the Bible is that man was created for a reason by God. God desired a love relationship with man. Man rebelled against God, but God still loved him and gave His Son for him. He did this to appease His holiness and justice, but also to satisfy His love. Look at the world around you. You mention above that you see your fellow man torturing and killing one another and it is beyond your comprehension. This is consistent with the way the Bible says man is. All other religions insist man is good enough by himself to work his way to heaven. But the Bible sees man for who he is, doesn't mince words, shows him as a rebel and a sinner who, compared to a Holy God, has severely missed what he was created for. The Bible helps us comprehend why man is so evil, but it doesn't leave us with no hope. It helps us understand evil, but also shows us how to overcome it. The love you profess to have towards your fellow man, how is it possible unless there is a real personal God who made you in such a way that you can love? How is it possible unless that God love, Himself? Please sit down and study scripture from a source that takes its claims to be true. Liberal schlolars will distort this and that just like they do with historical references and everything else. You can learn some things from them, but their basic presuppositions are way off and they arrive at the wrong conclusions. God to conservative scholars to see what they say, and how they defend, the Bible. THEN make your judgment as to whether or not it is inspired by God.
