No, I don't "like" the last part of the last sentence.
More to the point, I don't see it as reasonable.
When I was a non-Christian, it says, then I was not Imago Dei.
Then, sometime in 1960 or 1961 I became one, and your thesis
says I then became Imago Dei.
Hard to pick up on that one, Dick.
I know, by my thesis Adolf Hitler was an Imago Dei. Well, as sick as he
certainly was, I still think he was Imago Dei.
