what the fuck is up with all the people who claim to have seen jesus' visage on random objects? what you think we actually know what he looked like? try again.

Next time you make a thread, try making a coherent point, or posing a understandable question.

i thought it was significantly dumbed down but here we go:

how can we be say something looks like jesus if we don't know what jesus looks like?

Well, it's a fairly easy question to answer for yourself, I don't know why you asked.

It's because of centuries of artists depictions that have become social norm.

But these depictions have changed. One example - most pictures of Jesus until the 4-5 century AD show him beardless. His beard and long hair is kinda what makes him look like jesus to the modern world.

I think people are just wanting their 15 minutes of fame with the whole jesus-appeared-in-front-of-me-but-no-one-else-saw or the-virgin-Mary-is-on-my-toast thing.

I mean, if Jesus was going to appear suddenly anywhere, wouldn't it be somewhere where he could do the most good? Like in the middle of a battleground and not at a breakfast table.

Just food for thought... isnt breakfast the most important meal of the day?

OK, maybe this might be why my step-kids call me a dork LoL

Jesus was probably short, dark-complected, hooknosed, and bearded, like most other guys of the time. I'd bet the rent he DIDN'T look like Jeff Hunter.

And Satan is a myth.

Next question?

for some reason, the popular image of jesus looks exactly like Cesare Borgia....not the mod.

jesus was black, or close to it(like an arab)
