Actually you may prefer that God made you in His image,but unless you have completely discarded the bible...that is not what God's word says

Genesis 5 1 This is the written account of Adam's line. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.

2 He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them "man."

3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.

Here's what my Bible says:

Genesis 1:26

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Why did you quote this verse, you think I am from the devil? I love how you literalists have a verse somewhere to condemn us all!

I have a natural tendency to rebel against domination.

Well the inability to allow God to have dominion over you could be a problem

If you had taken my statement in context you would know I was referring to domination by the church. Since I am God's creation, God already has dominion over me. Why should I submit to men?

Man WAS made in God's image..but the sin of Adam changed that..As we see in Genesis 5 man now was born in the image of sinful Adam.

When Jesus spoke He spoke,He spoke to all of us..we all are born bearing the image of Satan because of the fall.I did not directed that at you specifically.

It is because of that sin we all need a Savior.
