I'm in Church admiring the designs and seeing Jesus statue-beautifully designed but white as snow???

Ok I got dragged to a Christening and bored as... hell?

Wasn't he slightly tanned Jewish guy that looked like Saddam?

I'm talking about the original one-not the any of the recent claimers as the son of God in America...

He was bit short too and not bullet proof. 😈

Ha ha! (green bike favorite colour theif!)

Seriously I think it's a good question to ask we make him to be glorified figure with 80's rock mullet white hippy.

When he was an ordinary man of normal looks of that area-who are in the Israel area?

I never said he did or didn't exist.

Just wondering as the people there look brownish so why are the statues white as snow and 6ft4 when he was short?

Well My butcher is called Jesús and he is a sort of yellow grey. With grey hair and specks of black. He also has a bit of a comb over when he make an effort to tidy up.

Ok so how come so many believe in him but hate non-whites?

Actually I'm barely hanging on and better stick to bike chat.

I noticed an Indian 'Faith' also 'brightening up the skin colour' too.

Ok stop...well at least Hindus used Blue for Krishna...

And regarding the green-Kona 2010 may come out with Green Explosive Cro-mo...until then post pics of the build and enjoy FoxyChick.

@Captainflash LOL.

I think the Prophet Mohammed was dark skinned living in around Mecca tyger.

Could also say why was Krishna Blue in Hinduism?

The only thing you need to know is that Jesus loves you. And even though he's a man, I've heard he's a gentle lover.

Hey I agree with his values and equality for all.

Just wondering why he is depicted as snow white. If he was white then fine, or black or blue etc.

I still think it's valid question as I'm not saying he didn't exist.

Also with cloning technology they could find out what he looked like etc-huge ethical debate!

You see it's so easy to take the rip out of Jesus but somehow I doubt the same will be dished out about the prophet Muhammad.

Or will I be proved wrong?

Personally I feel respect should be being shown but I guess that's because I'm a little old fashioned when it comes to things like that.

I think we should respect everyones views and opionions-which should be seen or heard without causing hatred etc.

Like I said he is depicted as white but wasn't white. That's investigation, not a pee take.

The Prophet Mohammed and interpretations and any other religion have a lot to answer for.

If we are to follow any religion we should know it inside out-the people who say death to you for insulting Islam need to relax and be prepared for sensible Q & A's if we are to learn from them?

Maybe the forum is not the best place.

I'm going to a church 2morro around the corner then ask other leaders of other faiths how they fit in the modern world and I am going to ask for an interview for an opinion.

Might film or ask the Uni radio discussion team to come along. Non profit making btw.

My merciful God will make me burn in hell for eternity. But he's not really worth worshipping if he can't forgive my monkey mind for such disrespect, so **** him!

As I understand it Soda, God doesn't want anyone to burn in Hell which is why Christians believe He sent Jesus to take your place - perhaps your impression of who God is is inaccurate?

To give a vaguely serious answer - no one really knows - but he was of the Semitic tribes so more than likely he would have looked like a modern day arab. sort of cafe au lait colour? Probable dark hair as well. No chance he was a blue eyed white skinned blond. Wrong part of the world for that

I suspect it matters relatively little. Presumably European ecclesiastical art depicts him as it does because they wanted to paint something they regarded as very beautiful. Ethiopian images show him as black, for exactly the same reason.

Religious art was one of the richest veins of cultural achievement in Europe for centuries. They were not wildly concerned with historical accuracy, but with conveying a sense of the power and beauty of the stories, the emotion of them and their faith.

Looks like i've annoyed somebody. Oh well, BigDummy has illustrated that he has "class issues" and Gus is still sulking from his shame in referencing the Daily Mail to support an argument a couple of days ago. Really, I expected more sport from both of you.

I think BigDummy is spot on-they dipict their saints according to their stereotype culture for that time regardless of recorded history/ethnicity.

Makes a difference-probably not unless you're rascist Christian? or using the Karan for war/terrorism when the ideas don't match true facts.

I just want the truth-can we handle the truth? looks like it.

I believe jesus existed, however, if he never did a sin, that means he went 33 years without knocking one out. thats a hell of a leap of faith.

the image of Jesus is a roman creation. There's some studies that suggest Jesus was extremely short, slightly crooked gait and sharp features. And of course skin colour normal for the area he came from.

the thing that upsets the Jewish 'authorities' in the Jesus story is that he hangs around with 'gentiles' (people who aren't Jewish). So although he would have been a brown man with a big nose the point was that he was happy to be mates with anyone regardless of their job, ancestral roots, faith or skin colour. I suppose that is the biggest thing that makes christianity different from Judaism.

A thing which all to many christians forget unfortunately.

Whether religion is ture or not regardless of any faith-

It did teach people to treat eah other fairly and equally regardless creed, colour or sex.

It didn't happen-look around the world-fighting wars because of hatred or religion or money etc.

So when will hatred ever stop?

Soda has the right to joke if he can take it back the Athiest scum! ;O)

I kill you and blow mtber up by putting landmines on trail! well thats extreme.

I have noticed speaking to Muslim women-they seem to be more relaxed and anti war and hatred while the guys are quick to fight and hate jews-without a knowing why!!??

-Blame men?

MTB Riding is my religion and I'm going off to pray for 20 miles on road...converted?!

the question is what does l ron hubbard look like

give it 2000 years and someone will be debating that question on some futuristic forum

scientology is the next big thing, its got celebrity endorsement, a self help vibe and the day that we finally encounter alien life, whether its bacteria on mars or xenus as ron reckons a lot of people are gonna start doubting current faiths and look for something thats got the answers...

so anyway it turns out hes ginger.....

Anyway, Jesus was middle eastern for sure, but he wasn't Arab. In any case, I work with an Arab bloke who could easily pass for white. Maybe Eastern European.

This forum is truly ****ed in the head

I dare to say Islamic ideology is a threat and get shouted down, nazi images are posted as replies, and "I pity you" statements are left by various blinkered, ignorant left wing ****s

An image gets posted which has previously caused muslims to drag elderly nuns from church and beat them to death, and what happens....nothing.

Are these same "informed" ****s now burying their heads in the sand, cos if they are then they need to know that the "sand people" wont let it go.

As for not being able to insult Islam - well it seems fair to me. After all, most Christians don't get really upset when you blaspheme, but some Muslims do. Fair enough.

Blokes don't get upset when you get all crude and sexist, but women do. So most people moderate their sexism when women are present. Fair enough innit.

It's all about the offence that will be caused by your words. It ain't rational, nor is it exactly balanced, but so what? If something is going to upset, don't say it - if it isn't, then do. Have some compassion.

Blong Haired & Aryan, natch.

Invoking Godwins Law, them there Nazi's seemed to think so & spent time, money etc etc looking for lost Aryan tribes of which they believed he was a member.

Not sure about the short dodgy looking bloke with the naff hair & moustache though, he didnt look very Aryan at all to me.
