I never understood the question: what does God look like? God can take any form he wants. The only reason everyone calls him "he" is that the ancient world was so into misogyny that coming down as a man was the best way to get people's attention. God can be a man, woman, man-bear-pig, talking rock, etc. That South Park image is hilarious because it would serve some people right if God chose to come to them that way when they've been picturing the classic robed, old man image.
Going back to someone asking what if he had a neanderthal-type appearance, my guess is that Jesus at least looked like an every day guy back then, meaning he would be average in that time period's weight, height, eye color, hair color, skin tone... Most paintings of him were done by medieval and Renaissance artists who European-ized his hair and features and probably covered more of his body than what was really the case.

Agreed. Though he may have been handsome because Mary was supposedly a very fair lady.

But how many beautiful women have you seen with ugly men?
I have seen beautiful children as the offspring of very ugly parents. "Dani" comes to mind. She was one of the hottest women I have ever seen. Her parents were rather plain...ugly actually. I couldn't believe that their offspring were so pretty. ("Dani" had a little sister who was gorgeous as well.)
But, I was thinking that Joseph couldn't have ruined the "pretty" genes too much...
Making Mary beautiful may have also been another propaganda mechanism to further the idea of being born of a pure virgin. I would like to think she was a pretty lady, though. hmm

Propaganda? Christians would never do that. 🙄

It took me a bit...but now I follow what you meant by "j". You mean the Alyssa Milano look-a-like smoking that big ass joint in my signature. 😖hifty:
"But how many beautiful women have you seen with ugly men?"----Shaky
Well, there is Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, imo. Lol. Charlize Theron's husband is a little too girly for my taste, and even though Pamela Anderson's not really that pretty, she's with Tommy Lee and Kid Rock and they are just hideous.
But you were talking about offspring? My guess is Mary was average looking. I'd love to know a description of her, but I think she was picked because of her faith rather than her looks.

More than I'd like, to be honest. Nothing is more depressing and simultaneously baffling than seeing some fine woman with an ugly/nerdy-ass fool. Because it means that you actually had a chance.
