Jesus' real color
April 17, 2018 at 11:54 am


teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Claiming Jesus wasn't white is just racist!!

Next thing you'll be telling me he would have looked like a Middle Eastern Jew from 2,000 years ago.

In fact fictional characters can look like whatever the believer imagines.

"Jesus" clean shaven, in a toga.  2d=3d century.

mid 4th century.

12th century Byzantine.

Early 5th century

mid to late 6th century

So, you see, there was no clear idea of what the fucker looked like.  He is whatever you want or need him to be.

He was a Jew from the Middle East, so probably dark hair, dark eyes, facial hair, tan skin, and a long nose.

Regardless, I don't see why it matters what He looked like.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

He's a theatrical prop that people use for their own agendas.

It matters for my erotic novels.
