In God’s own image

 

God created man in his own image.

But then man began to create other men in his own image.

 

The problem now is that there are so many images

It has become exceeding hard to tell,

which image is God’s and which is man’s.

 

And religious people all over the world have begun to try and untangle Gods Image from man’s image.

Whist others seem to spend their entire life making more images.

 

The question of what kind of image man should be making of himself is no doubt a valid one.

 

Yet the greater question is in knowing, whether this images making ability of man ‘was or was not’ a part of god’s original image.
