"Made in god's image" like everything else in any religious text is highly allegorical and open for interpretation. There's the official (insert your preferred organized) religion view, the scholar view, and of course, your view. I believe religion is a matter between the person and his/her creator force/thing/person, thus while all these other interpretations of scripture are to be taken into account, it is ultimately the person's decision how it's taken in.
I believe my creator is unidentifiable, incommensurable and unspeakable. It is everywhere all at once, and while I can experience some of it, Its stimuli goes beyond my senses, overcoming my humanity. I have chosen, based on tradition and acculturation, to have a mental image of him as humanesque. But culture has only gone so far, ultimately the image I have of him is my own construction, not the other way around.
Anyway I looked, my creator would look like. Bearded, blue eyed old man with the body of a greek olympian? Sure, artist's impression.
If we ignore, for the sake of this discussion, the Mary narrative, we'll find that Jeesus was born like any other human, he lived and died a human life. What kind of issues do you think he had?
Brother J came to show us that in spite of our human limits, we can live in love.
Love's possible, in fact, Love's the only way, man.
George Clinton put it better, perhaps.
