but i found the last line in this 'graph from Matt Taibbi today amusing...

"On the extreme end of the spectrum you’ve probably got your Ted Bundy-at-Lake-Sammamish brand of evil, torturers and such, people who actually take pleasure in the suffering of others. You look at people like that and they defy rational explanation; you have to just chalk that up to the universe basically being a horrifying place where there’s either no God at at all or a God who’s just incompetent and/or explaining himself really, really badly."

you've coined a phrase that, according to teh google, has never been used on teh internets. in this case, it's "skull-fuckingly large."

Also, captioning a picture of an angel wresting with a human "The gun is in your hand ... the gun is in ... my hand" is the sort of thought that's going to fester.

I think i'd amend your statement that "In the end, all gods are demons" to "In the end, humans make all gods into demons." How a person views Christianity, anyway, is sort of like a rorschach test. You can read the Good Book and take what you learned and start feeding the homeless, or running an orphanage. Or you can take it and invade the neighboring country, or stone the gay kid from next door, or blow up abortion clinics. The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose, but the true believer can cite Scripture to support any manner of fucked up stuff. I think that the evil shit done in the name of God through history says more about the fucked up nature of humanity more than it does about the nature of God, whether or not he exists.
