Is Jesus a Blonde Hair, Blue Eyed, White, Male?

[Placebo]

I'd wager, the vast majority of Americans would think so.

There's was an interesting segment on CNN about what Jesus might have actually looked like when he walked the Earth, and there was quite some debate between the scientists and the "true believers" as to what he really looked/looks like.

1. No he probably looked like this guy...

[hollywood926]

5. I like you. :-) n/t

[goodboy]

33. ditto (nt)

[HEyHEY]

2. He was from the middle east - so I doubt it!

[mwdem]

3. Not if he was from the Mid East!

No!

[fortyfeetunder]

4. Consider

The amount of hatred that Murkans have for most things Middle Eastern, how can anyone who was as great as Jesus look like someone from the Middle East?

IMHO, he probably looked more like Osama than Arnold.

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Never having met him, I don't know.

:hi:

[Cadence]

7. I've heard this come up

a lot lately. I've noticed a lot of people are comfortable thinking Jesus would have looked Jewish but not Arab.
I'm not sure I understand the physical characteristics that distinguish the two.

I heard Ann Coulter screaming about this the other night, that he would have looked Jewish, but she seemed to be o.k. with the premise that he spoke Aramaic.

:shrug:

18. Most American Jews have European blood

When they got to Europe, they intermarried and had children with the locals. Jews who immigrated to the U.S. from Eastern and Central Europe look much more European than the Jews who live in the Mid East.

8. Well, according to anthropologists

And forensics experts, Jesus probably looked something like this

9. There we go.

[tuvor]

10. He looks like he could be brothers with this guy.

[BrklynLiberal]

11. Not too many blonde, blue-eyed guys in the middle east in 35 BC

Semitic is semitic.. Miuddle Eastern Jews and Middle Eastern Arabs are impossible to tell apart.

[Cadence]

24. Thank you!

That's my point exactly!

[johnnie]

12. I was thinkin more like this

[BrklynLiberal]

13. Even that is too European looking.. He actually probably did look more

like the shoe-bomber than anyone would like to admit..

[JVS]

19. English+Jamaican=Middle-eastern?

His mother is English, his father Jamaican. He converted to Islam in prison.

[JVS]

15. Chong!

[BrklynLiberal]

14. Here is how they picture him on liberalslikechrist.org

[DrWeird]

16. Actually, yes.

He was also Born Again, spoke English, and voted Republican.

[JVS]

20. And don't forget that he spoke King James' English

non of this high-falutin liberalized translation of the English language

[seaj11]

17. Soms historians think he may have been "black."

I put it in quotation marks because biologically there's no race...but we would perceive him to be black. I seriously doubt that in the region of the world that he lived in, he had pale skin and blond hair. I'd like to think of him as not having a "race" or a color. I personally don't care what he looked like, but it makes me sick when supposed pale-skinned "Christians" treat darker-skinned people as inferior. :grr:

[WoodrowFan]

21. of course

and also like a Japanese woman, an african man, a Latin American Indian, etc, etc. I suspect when you meet him he'll look like whatever group you held a secret (or not so secret) bias against.

[Radical Activist]

22. He must have been since I am a blue eyed blond haired white man!

hehe self-centered jackasses.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

23. hell no...everybody knows he's glow in the dark and rides............

on dashboards

[ReadTomPaine]

25. So who are the four who voted yes? n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

27. Freepers that haven't been outted yet probably

:-)

[ZoCrowes]

26. Who gives a shit?

If the color of a persons skin is enough to shake a persons faith then they are weak-willed, shallow, faithless, hypocrite pigs...wait that's most right wing "christians."

[leftofthedial]

28. absolutely

he's been airbrushed, blow-dried and completely coopted by the corporate-religious Murkan media

he's as white as a bush supporter from Nebraska

[kodi]

29. of course he is and he speaks perfect english, and is gay.

[arwalden]

30. My Favorite Jesus Picture... Hunky Jesus

He looks like he could have popped off the cover of a historical romance novel... or Castro St. in the early 80's.

[Placebo]

32. Now THAT would make me a "born again"!

I'll accept him into me any day of the week. :D

[AntiCoup2K4]

31. let's put it this way....

If Jesus would have been born a 6' tall blond blue eyed Jew in that time, EVERYONE would have known He was the Son of God, because such a person wouldn't have likely been born there under completely natural means.

[JVS]

34. Appearance of Christ often depends on the culture in which he's depicted
