Son of God

Son of God
A new Jesus movie is coming out (oh goodie) My question is this "Why the hell is Jesus always look like a surfer dude"?, we know, if he existed he would not be white. If you are gonna make another crappy Jesus movie make him dark brown, with a wider nose, ugly, etc. at least it will be just a little more real.

RE: Son of God
Do you really think Christians want to pay to see a brown Jesus?

You have to pander to your demographic.

Honestly he should look like a Jewish carpenter from the middle east, but most American christians don't want to see someone who kind of looks like a muslim. They'd probably even complain if the producer cast a middle eastern as Jesus.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

No, guys! Jesus was white! How else were the locals supposed to understand that he was better than them?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Jesus loved guns, cars with massive engines and was definitely not a Jew.

That's as good as any other completely made up image.

Remember that there are no descriptions of Jesus in any of the Gospel accounts.

But yes, the blond haired surfer dude from California seems unlikely.

RE: Son of God
Jesus was gay, straight, bi and asexual.
Jesus was black, white, and middle-eastern.
Jesus was conservative and liberal.
Jesus was a capitalist and a communist.
Jesus was a Jew, a Christian and a Muslim.
Jesus was a rebel and an authoritarian.
Jesus was... a glorified self-reflection of whoever admires him.
Tell me what you think Jesus was like and I'll tell you about yourself.

There just isn't enough time to do both.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
