Quote:The reason you have Italian looking Jesus, or Hispanic looking Mary's or French or German looking Jesus, is the same reason a Buddha in China is going to look slightly different than one depicted in India. Because the character reflects the society the believer lives in.
In reality in Mesopotamia BACK THEN anyone polytheist or monotheist would ON AVERAGE have more olive or dark skin tones.
Quote:You have tunnel vision when it comes to what someone sold you long ago. And humans do not survive the death myth as the bible would imply in any case. So arguing over what should be worshiped or not, is pointless. Just as pointless when Muslims claim one should not depict Mo.What a small limited way to think..
No human has any magic powers to communicate with fictional beings regardless.
Asserted anoter way...
Could a transdemsional being exist, that has the ability to communicate with those in whom He wishes to communicate? Maybe not through magic but perhaps through technology or even through a naturally occurring process we simply are too stupid to understand?
The only reason God is depicted as 'magic' is because the last time he was seen was when we did not have the vocabulary to describe anything different.
