Am I the only one that thinks it a little too convenient that man happens to be created in the image of God?
Isn't it more likely that God was created in the image of man to make him more acceptable.
I agree not to ridicule your beliefs not matter how stupid they are, just as long as you don't use that old panacea "God works in mysterious ways". Use that phrase and it is open season.

Because the people that created him had little imagination

I think the God is in everything and everyone around you. God is created in the image of life. God is not a certain sex, God is everything from a blade of grass to a tall mountain. Man has made God out to be "male". I think that is very wrong.

And how do we Christians says that we are like God or that God is like us? We say that God is a Spirit and has breathed life into us, making us a spiritual being. One with a conscious, one that can decide, be creative, love, etc. But we do not always reflect His glory nor His likeness.
btw His "likeness" does not mean God is like us... His ways are not our ways, He works in mysterious ways... lol

Not at all!!!
Kinda hard for a creator to be in the image of its creature.... Because somewhere the story would fall apart as to how that happened..... Something would have to come first..... and certainly the creature wouldn't.....
Inside each of us, is what that image is..... Like the air unseen, but hidden.... the aspect of its character is without question because it reasons, it thinks, it motivates and like the air, without it there is no life......

To me it makes perfect sense that man is created in the image of God.
Blessed Be

People create religions and as humans they need something to relate to. To them, at the time of God's first arrival, humans were the most important thing on Earth, so God must be like them. Faith makes religion, if you have faith, your God is real. Something like that.

God is the creator, no one created Him, He is spirit,LOVE. Seek Him and get to know Him for yourself, you will bow before Him one day and you will remember these words. They will run thru your mind 1000 times when you are standing before a Holy God to be judged on how much you love Him.

When, you don’t believe someone, it means you think that he is a liar. The Bible says that those who don’t believe God accuse Him of lying. Martin Luther said, "What greater insult ...can there be to God, than to not believe His promises."
