I just made the same comment MD. Plus there is the part about white hair like sheep. We debated this the other night.

Granted, but given the time and place in which Yeshua Ibn Josef lived, looking like Barry Gibb (even Barry Gibb working a major buzz) would have made him stand out like a sore thumb. White Jesus is a fiction developed to make xtianity more palatable to white europeans in ages gone by.

Strange to think that the church would need to use lies in order to sell what they claim is truth, huh?

I know. It's just "white jesus" is the only image I've ever seen.

They tell us, "The Bible explains.". What if i've never read the Bible? What if i've never even heard of the Bible? Under this one condition, it means i'm basically guaranteed eternal hell. Or maybe if you've never heard of the Bible or read the Bible, you are excused? If this is the case, what kind of sick bastard would ever spread the Bible?

The guy this article is about seems alright. Much closer to the correct path. God isn't really found in a book. God is found in your hair... and in ice cream.
we are not supposed to live perfect, sinless lives. that is absurd. we are supposed to do our best, but it is silly to think you should be perfect. every Christian sins every day

It's simply a matter of learning from your mistakes. Seems a LOT of people have stopped learning, and have started holding grudges.
