Community as image (was Sandman)

Amy quoted:

> Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and 
> let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, 
over 
> the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that 
> move along the ground."  So God created man in his own image, 
> in the image of God he created him; male and female he created 
them. 
> (Genesis 1:26-27, King James Version)

and glossed:
> 
> The creation-from-the-rib version comes later, in Genesis 2:7, 15-
> 24.  Gaiman, or whoever he got it from, is using some poetic 
license, 
> since there's nothing to indicate that Eve was created first.  But 
> it's significant that the Eve of the first creation story has a 
> better shot of being equal to Adam than the rib-Eve in that the 
> former was created at the same time as he, explicitly in God's 
image 

...and the 'us'... 'our'... 'our'... 'them'?
