Holy tissue hematoma, Batman!
Holy rotting tuber, Batman!

Note to religious nutters in the western world: Jesus was not a white, anglo-saxon, protestant…

#7: If so, zillions of fanatics would demand that the bruise be destroyed, ’cause they’re not supposed to depict the prophet’s face. No one knows what the guy looked like, anyway. Heck, no one knows what Jesus actually looked like.

Floyd says:

#5: Your particular flavor of Christianity may not allow depictions of Jesus, and that’s no problem.

However, Catholics and Eastern Orthodox/Uniates (and other flavors of Christianity) depict Jesus (and saints) as statues or icons. It’s not considered idolatry, because the depiction isn’t supposed to be worshiped.

I think it looks like Einstein. Albert that is.

Great, getting your ass beat for Jesus.

#10 How do you explain everybody praying to symbols of Jesus and his mother? CONSTANTLY. I would love to see somebody praying to the toasted cheese sandwich…I, personally, pray to my lager beer every afternoon. I think I see Sam Adams in the condensation.

#7 that is against the Islamic religion. They may have a verbal description from those that knew him.

Actually it’s against the Judaic Christian books as well but don’t tell anybody.

We don’t even have a verbal description of what Jesus looked like. No likeness was made of him until centuries after his death. He could have been a short fat bald guy with no hair or a tall thin guy covered in hair.

The first thing to as the person who finds an image of Jesus is how do they know what Jesus looks like? He would have been about 37 if I recall correctly at the time of his death and this applies: They guessed at the length of Jesus’ hair on the basis of the reference by Paul that “If a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him.” They speculate that Paul would not have written this if Jesus Christ had had long hair. However, that might not be a valid assumption. Jesus was referred to often in the Bible as “Rabbi.” If he was an actual rabbi, he would definitely have followed Jewish law which forbade men from clipping the sides of their hair and their beards. Besides, there is no indication in the Bible that Paul actually met or saw Jesus.

Of course the Bible does report that Saul/Paul was in Jerusalem sometime after Jesus’s death so who knows? He would have certainly known people that had seen Jesus.
