You've probably heard numerous times that all people are created in the image of God. What about Hitler and Stalin; were they in God's image also? If so, then they were doing God's work. Is it God's job to have people kill other people? This sounds like a very violent theology, but it's certainly not Christian theology. This statement about being created in the image of God is an enigma to most people. Even Christian preachers have stumbled over this seeming conundrum, while unscrupulous people (like some politicians) have capitalized on it to justify personal agendas. But it's actually no mystery at all when examined according to its purpose.
