Um...Not to bash Christianity or anything...But there is something that confuses me.
If we're all made in God's image...Then why doesn't everyone look like a wrinkly old white dude? ._. Can someone please explain that to me...?

Because he is neither, wrinkly nor white, nor a Dude, Old is the only acruate term there.
The term "Made in God's Image" refers to the fact that like him we are made possesing an ability of free will, and the concious knowledge of morality and a sentience above that of the rest of creation.
We are not litteraly made in his image, as we do not posses the characteristics that he does, and a number of instances within Scripture it is alluded that he unlike us in every way.

The Sprinting Apostle Because he is neither, wrinkly nor white, nor a Dude, Old is the only acruate term there.

We are not litteraly made in his image, as we do not posses the characteristics that he does, and a number of instances within Scripture it is alluded that he unlike us in every way. I believe this is a fair answer.

to be created in his image applies both on a spiritual and physical level. Yes, it does mean we were given free will and all that, and we try and make ourselves like him by thinking in a godly way. In a physical way, the bible does not say he is old and wrinkly, lol, but many people debate on what he looked like. Looking like him, aka being made in his image, does not define skin tone. Therefore, we cannot say is a certain color and that we should all be that color. No matter what race you are, what do we all have in common? We all have ears, noses, hands, feet, thumbs, arms, mouths, eyes, imaginations, intellect, ect. So when we are made in his image, this is what he means while we are all able to be special in our own way at the same time, aka individuality. We are all one race, and that race is human. We share the same things listed above, no matter what color you are and THAT is how we are made in his image. 3nodding
