Interesting question. I guess it all depends upon how you define "image" and if you believe there exists a supernatural being, higher than us, who is our Creator.

In my opinion, we were made in his likeness or "image" in that we have the choice to do evil or not. God makes choices and ALWAYS chooses good and righteousness. He gave us that ability as well, to choose, yet we are a bit lower than Him as creation must be by definition. Therefore, the fact that we choose unwisely or choose to go against His Will does NOT mean God is at war Himself. He is NOT a programmed robot and neither are we - choosing to love and be righteous makes those things relevant.

Like a loving Father, He is patient and loves His children even when the wrong choices are made. Only willful defiance and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable since that is an eternal choice to do as YOU will rather than do as He Wills. That choice is tantamount to allegiance to one's SELF and to be at the service of the Adversary with knowing and willing intent - choosing another master/god.
