Looking at you.
The image of Jesus was taken from the image of Zeus
I was reading this article on Discovery News, and it made me think about the wrong beliefs that some people have. Jesus was white is so stupid I can't believe it. The image we have of Jesus is not even Jesus, it is Zeus. Here is an image of a statue of Zeus and a popular image of Jesus. Do you see the similarity?
I have no mod powers in this forum. I think only globals would at this point.
This happens a lot. I saw a picture tree once that showed Orpheus in various historical depictions. It changed subtly through the years. Then, shortly after Christianity boomed, one of the earliest depictions of Jesus surfaced. It was the same as the most recent Orpheus, but with a shepherd's staff in place of a stringed lyre. People borrow and steal everything.

I didn't ask him to. My "sins" are part of my learning in this life. But I don't believe in Hell, so that make a "sin" something quite different, then what it is to a Christian.

Anyone with any bit of sense [and I realize that many certain people do not have sense] would know that Jesus looked like what people born in the Middle East look like. Olive/dark skin, black hair, dark eyes... I believe that white Jesus was born once Christianity moved into Aryan areas. Who wants to worship, to hold in absolute adoration... someone who doesn't look like them?

Back then long hair wasn't proper, and that is what people looked like in that area back then.
