"For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.…" (1 Timothy 2:5-6)

Many intelligent, rational, and thinking men drift away from institutional religions to focus solely on the potential of mankind apart from God.

"And God said, let us make mankind in our image.” (Genesis 1:26)
