Even the most horrible and evil person, even Satan himself, would be need to be imbued with some Essence of God, like a lynch pin that grants existence. And if everything has some hint of God in it, everything has some aspect of his goodness, grace, and law; correct?
That said, if God's crowning glory is the human soul, then why must we follow the Bible instead of reflect upon our inner experience (mind or soul) as that would undoubtedly house some "map" to salvation via the grace God imbued in each and every one of us. To have an external map (the Bible) handed to you and instructed upon it by an external source, you open yourself up to the fallibility of others (their biases, greed, power lust, "telephone game" effect, etc.)which seems wildly counter intuitive. Instead of looking deep within yourself to find God (which is where everyone always finds him anyway),people think you need a proxy from a clergy or book, both controlled by Men (agents of free will mind you) for 2000 years.
