No. It means that people dreamed up a silly little God that hates as they hate and loves stingily like a miser just as they do.
When they are done they end up with a God that agrees with them 100 percent. To explain this they say that God created people in his own image.

It means what it means.. i dont care what the preacher told ya (beware of false phrophets... they will be numerous.. hehehe)
YUP thats what it means.. its a pretty clear description "IN HIS IMAGE" (you been listing to preacher joe to much.. no need to intrepret... Also REMEMBER he is refrenced as the "LIVING GOD" MANY many times... not some sheet clad spirit thats more at home in a Stephen King movie SHEESH... There are tons of references in the bible (pick yer version.. makes no diff to me) where the apperance is described.. and it is clearly human in form, shape, and physicality.. God walks talks and well just about anything a human does.. where is the conflict in this question? it sez what it sez .. sheesh.. Just read Genesis.. and Job.. both will give you good descriptions.. Now I'm not an xtian or Jew or muslim.. I'm a Pagan.. but I've read ya'lls book (62 versions and counting)

God is a Spirit,” or, “God is spirit.” (John 4:24)
he dwells in a spirit realm
It would be shortsighted and unreasonable for us to imagine that God can create only material things visible to us and has not also created things in the invisible heavenly realm
Such things of a higher realm would be of a composition higher than that of the material creation of which we humans are a part.
When we think of all the wondrous, beautiful things that God has put here in the material realm, it fills us with awe when we try to think of all the wonderful, glorious things that he has created in the spiritual realm
There is no dependence upon the sun of our solar system for light up there
that God has with him in the invisible spirit realm intelligent persons of a spirit composition. With these he can have direct contact. They can see him even as he sees them. Being of higher, superhuman composition, as to their makeup, they are not dissolved, disintegrated, annihilated at the mere sight of him. They can be in direct touch with him, serving in his personal presence. (Luke 1:19) Not to angels, but to men, God said: “You are not able to see my face, because no man may see me and yet live.” (Exodus 33:20) So God said even to his prophet Moses
.the Bible says: “If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one.”—1 Corinthians 15:44; John 4:24.

According to Christians, this means just like God is a spirit, he gave us a spirit/soul.
According to Biblical scholars, this is an adaptation from an Egyptian creation myth that was adapted and made monotheistic.

It means people pasted their own image up in the sky to explain things they don't know yet.
An intelligent designer with emotions, choices, and motives.
In my opinion it's pretty stupid.

It means that God is like us. He has emotions, feelings, he feels pain, joy, he laughs, loves, he has all the same inner qualities that we do. We are created like him.

It means that we were created to reflect (get it? IMAGE???) of his four cardinal qualities... Justice, Love, Wisdom and Power.
