Hey if you are going to take the body of Christ in your mouth...

Nothin’ at all! . . .

You want a Jesus movie starring Jared Leto? Because this is how you get a Jesus movie starring Jared Leto.

People really need to drop the whole "people in the middle east in the first century couldn't be white" thing.

2 Kings 5:27 is literally about a subpopulation who have ancestrally passed skin as white as snow.

Lamentations 4:7 is about how pre-captivity there were people with skin like milk and a ruddy appearance.

Dead Sea Scroll fragment 4Q534 is either describing Noah or the Messiah as having red hair.

One of the more fascinating finds in this tomb, one that has not received much attention, was the preservation of a sample of Jewish male hair. The hair was lice-free, and was trimmed or cut evenly, probably indicating that the family buried in this tomb practiced good hygiene and grooming. The length of the hair was medium to short, averaging 3-4 inches. The color was reddish.

The tradition is also really concerned with skin checks and describes what may be skin cancer as its leprosy. Something that occurs at a much higher rate in redheads.

There's even a scene where the eponymous founder of Edom ('red') who is born with hair all over his body and named Esau either because of that hair or the reddish porridge he ate, either gives away or has his birthright/blessing stolen from him by the guy later renamed 'Israel' in the Bible.

There's a lot more to this and the underlying history, but the notion that the middle east was a monolith of appearances and that no one with pale skin or lighter hair were present is preposterous and a modern falsification of historical realities.

Jesus was probably darker skinned and haired than typically depicted, but it is by no means a certainty as it is popularly presented as.

You’ve gotta remember that Jesus is half god and as we know god is white.

Yeah he was actually fat, bald, white guy from New Jersey

This was average back then! We're actually getting fuglier as a species

Um that was written by someone who died hundreds of years before Jesus was born.

The urge for power and refusal to admit fault was the reason why I started to doubt Christianity as a whole, despite growing up Catholic.

I can't understand how it can be so easy for some to preach love, acceptance, and hope while simultaneously using such ideas to push hate or fear.

I don't know about as real. I've seen pictures and movies of Bugs Bunny. I know what Bugs Bunny sounds like. Also, if I do something Bugs doesn't like, he gets revenge. He doesn't send me to a fictional land where I burn for eternity.

Bugs definitely seems more real to me.

There is historical evidence that a man named Jesus existed at the time. Not quite 100% conclusive, but probably as good as it will get when looking for evidence from 2000 years ago.

Whether that human was also divine is a matter of faith, of course. Most scholars who are serious about this make a distinction between the historical Jesus and the divine one from Christian beliefs. The only two events that have this general historical consensus are that the historical Jesus was baptized, and that Pontius Pilate (who most definitely did exist) had him executed. Everything else around Jesus from the Bible can't really be verified one way or another.

Yeah, I got most of this from a Wiki link. So what. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_for_the_historicity_of_Jesus

I say we give him like the deepest cum gutters possible.

I'm sure they'll take the opinion of random internet atheist edgelords to heart.
