Christianity in a nutshell

Here is the Christian story in a nutshell:
God created people and gave us the ability to choose right or wrong. We chose wrong (sin) so God then gave us the Old Testament laws. However these were too strict and we couldn’t keep those either, so God tells us that sacrificing animals will fix that and we can be forgiven of our sins. After years of sacrificing animals God says he has decided to let his son become a human and be killed by us so we won’t have to sacrifice animals anymore. Jesus will be the final sacrifice. However there’s is still a hitch. We have to actually believe that Jesus was the son of god in order to get this eternal happiness in heaven. If we don’t, we will be punished horribly for eternity.
Does that make sense to you? It doesn’t to me. It sounds like something humans made up over the years as they went along.
