In religous paintings Jesus is always white and more recently he's been shown as black but as he's from the Middle East wouldn't he have been half-cast anyway?

You really do not want to open this can of worms.

Look, everyone knows he was middle eastern except the poster here who-and I'm not kidding-thinks the sun revolves around the Earth.

I think this can of worms would be funny.

Israelites would get nasty sunburns if they all had that pasty white skin in the hot sun.

"Are you sure Jesus is supposed to be white. I was watching this thing on pbs and they said . . ."

"OF course he was white."

-Thank you SAVED!

You mean it doesn't?

:eek:


:D

but... why would jesus come from the middle east? he spoke english, so he should be from england...originally, I mean. Maybe back then everybody spoke english. wasn't that what the tower of babel was all about?

Don't be ridiculous. Everybody knows Jebus was Chinese, and all this silly arguing about it gets us nowhere.

so maybe jebus was... but what about jesus?


sorry...couldn't help it :p

The Jeez plays poker every Thursday night with me and some friends and I can guarantee you, he doesn't speak English. More a mix of Yiddish and Czecheslovakian Mandarin. Also, he's neither black nor white but closer to teal. Teal, the color of the Lord. Bow down before the all-powerful smurf!!

BTW - he's an angry drunk and gets a little "close" with his male buddies, if you know what I mean. This is usually when the party breaks up!

d'oh! you noticed?

You're all wrong. Jesus and I go way back... He's actually French Canadian, He started out selling used cars but after having a premonition of Celene Dion, he was so ashamed he ran away to Israel to do the whole son of God thing

Nah, I was watching Brotown tonight (fantastic New Zealand comedic stylings) and he was on it and he's a Pacific Islander. And tv doesn't lie so he must be.



Pssst, about the painting thing, think about who was doing the painting...
Did God mould us in his image, or do we mould him (or them if you're a pantheist) in ours...

He may have looked like Yasser Arafat. :eek:

Jesus would not have been white, he would have been of sufficiently Middle-Eastern appearance to be beaten up by American soldiers if they saw him walking down a street in Iraq.

Please, Jesus is obviously mexican.

He mows my neibhoors lawn, I would know.

Jesus also cheats at cards, the bastards!

(yes, I know I horrifically mispelled that word...)

All this talk about people beating on Jesus is crap. Everyone knows Buddy Christ was loved by everyone. I mean, just look at him! How can you deny that used-car-salesman smile?
