re: #57 RealityBasedSteve

Please make the screaming in my brain stop…. Jesus probably looked a lot like the other semitic people, and while he wasn’t black, he sure wasn’t the blonde blue-eyed Jesus that the painters favored. In fact, he probably looked more like the Jesus that is doing lawnwork down the street.

It would probably take all of 5 minutes worth of Googling to know that every culture in the world that venerates Jesus has created artwork in which Jesus resembles the people of said culture (who would have guessed?). If Kelly had something other than compressed helium between her temples, she might have searched a bit beyond the Anglo-Saxon cultural baseline that gives her an impression of Nordic Superman Jesus, and looked for Persian Jesus, Ethiopian Jesus, or maybe Chinese Jesus.
