Now you might ask why, so here is what I wrote.

quote:

Alright, since there is no way to comment on a FOX news related facebook page, let me point out, that Santa Claus is based in part on Saint Nicholas, in fact it is one of his names. Saint Nicholas was Greek, and not Caucasian. He probably had an olive complexion if not a bit darker.

As for the statement by Megyn Kelly that Jesus was white, anyone who knows history, genetics, and other facts, knows that Jesus being born a Jew in the holy land would give him a dark complexion, sorry but facts are facts.

In other words, if you were to see him today on the street, he would look exactly like most middle eastern people, dark, kind of arab looking, and considering the islamaphobia running rampant in this country, be a suspected terrorist.

In other words, when he comes back, he better have some heavy duty guardian angles or some right wing fanatic conservative white supremacist that hates Jews, Arabs, basically anyone not white, is gonna try to cap his ass with whatever he has on hand.

The bible tells us Jesus was king of the Jews, stands to reason he would be Jewish.

By the way, I am catholic, and I know that some christian religions say I am going to hell for being catholic, but I had the same conversation with an Irish priest named father Murphy. While he agreed everything I said was correct, there was no way that all the art depicting Jesus as white was gonna be changed to fit the truth.


What is wrong with having a dark skinned Jesus, I mean I didnt get offended at the cartoons of him and god playing golf or a picture a friend of mine painted with Jesus as a surfer...

I understand that otter, but we are talking 1st century middle eastern Jews, I dont see many red headed, freckled Jews running around.

My point is that the stereotypical "Jesus" is white, dark haired, and definitely European, unless it is an orthodox icon, then he is dark skinned, kinda.

Now personally, I would like to see him come back looking Middle Eastern, sporting a Green Bay packers tshirt and a University of North Carolina ball cap, wearing cargo shorts and tire tread sandals, and talking like the surfer from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, with a marijuana leaf belt buckle.

I want to see these devout, born again, bathed in the blood Christians crap their pants.

Well, dude if the highschool friends unfriended you are from the first century, they probably just dead and the kids gave away their puters to the salvation army.

And in our old non-politically correct schooling, we got caucusoid, mongoloid, and negriod.

Based upon those delineations, I would call Jeebus and the Clausster white.

Where you gonna go with it?

Not trying to argue, just saying that the odds were against it.

Now consider the image that I painted for the returning Jesus, dont you think that would really shake up some Christians?

so he may have darker skin than bleach white and ringlet like curls in his hair, may look like Sasha Baron Cohen, lets hope he doesn't act like him.

And santa hit my shitlist long time ago, never giving me the exact presents I wanted.

I never got what I wanted either, and it didnt help that I caught mom and dad putting the stuff under the tree.

And of course I complained last year in the P&R board about not being able to purchase a working soviet era Tunguska anti aircraft vehicle to shoot the jolly fat shit head down, when it was perfectly legal to buy a freaking mini gun and all the ammo I wanted for it.

I would have a tough time being friends with someone who was offended by the possibility of Jesus being dark skinned.

So what colour was Jesus?

Just as no one will ever produce proof for the existence of God, the question of Jesus's colour may always be a matter for personal belief.

Was he white, white-ish, olive-skinned, swarthy, dark-skinned or black? There are people who believe he was any one of those shades, but there seem to be only two things about the debate that can be said with any degree of certainty.

First - if the past 2,000 years of Western art were the judge, Jesus would be white, handsome, probably with long hair and an ethereal glow.

Second - it can almost certainly be said that Jesus would not have been white. His hair was also probably cut short.

As a very general rule that has many exceptions, those are Ashkenazim. My Jewish ancestry comes from Ukraine and my family contains a whole bunch of freckled red heads including my own mother, her brother, and both of his daughters among many many others.

I see no one commented on how I would like to see Jesus looking when he returns...

I mean think of all those holier than thou christians when he shows up wearing a green bay packers t shirt, a UNC ball cap, cargo shorts, talking like that surfer from fast times at ridgemont high, wearing sandals and sporting a marijuana belt buckle.

I am sorry but the God of my understanding and his son are pretty laid back and mellow, I mean God kinda sorta cooled out after the smittings in the old testament, and Jesus told everyone to forgive everyone else, hung out with hookers, and he certainly did not have a wall street hair cut.

So, if he returns from being dead..... will he go through a zombie stage first or just come back fully alive?

No, the son of god bypasses the zombie thing. And as I understand the bible he would probably be born to a human mom, you know the whole virgin mom thing, or as some people insist, he will descend from heaven with the stealthiness of a thief in the night.

The musical Avenue Q has a bit about this in the song "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist":

"Christ, do I feel good."
"Now there was a fine, upstanding black man."
"Who?"
"Jesus Christ."
"Gary, Jesus was white."
"No, Jesus was black."
"No, Jesus was white."
"I'm pretty sure Jesus was black."
"Guys...Jesus was Jewish"

About 2007 the airport in London was full with them...seriously....I briefly was wondering if the Kelly Family changed their wardrobe....but then realised nope...they weren't that many members like the ones who were there....but there were many who were red headed....they somehow went to whatever meeting, as that was the only occassion that the airport was full with so many red headed people with the same dress code

I was referring to the first century Jewish population of the holy land. I have a few friends that came from the Ukraine and are Jewish, and blonde.

For what I've been told during catechism lessons and "catholic religion" classes in school jesus had always been depicted with the features that community considered "good looking", so if you find an ancient etiopian holy art image he is african, same thing in asia and so on. So egiptian orthodox will probably give a more historical accurate image of him, other people in the middle east tend to not be devoted to jesus, europeans and people converted by europeans will fix on the medieval representation.

edit: you could also add a facebook update with: "jesus' dick had no foreskin" and see how many will unfriend you.
