Similar to my Devil thread, but opposite. How do you picture Jesus as looking? You don't need to be historically accurate, or sensitive here, just be honest. Honest to God, when Nickelback first hit the mainstream and I saw their video for that song about "how you remind me" or whatever, I thought to myself, "that is my Jesus". That's exactly how he looks in my mind, like Chad Kroger of Nickelback.
I have a freind who decided to grow his black hair to about shoulder length and he also forgets to shave constantly so gets a beird... We always make fun of him for looking like Jesus... He's kind of a hippy...I don't know about what Jesus actually looked like, but I guess that's what Jesus would look like if he was living today.
Oh and morgan- you're right... I saw a documentary about scientists/anthropologists (whatever they're called) who use skeletons to reconstruct facial tissue out of clay (it sounds like lots of fun to me). Anyway, they made some educated guesses and produced their look-a-like of Jesus... and he looked just like George Harrison but with tanner skin.
I probably saw it on the History channel... He was really ugly though. It's funny, the image they showed was of a guy that really needed to shave and had really bad teeth.
I saw that special last year too, and he was not very attractive (Jesus that is). I don't know if I can get down with that. lol. I've always pictured Jesus as being strikingly good looking, you know, because he's so "beautiful on the inside", I just figured it would carry over to the outside.
I would be willing to accept Jesus as looking like George Harrison--I actually thought George in his younger days was the most attractive Beatle. lol.
Thanks for your thoughts everyone...

In your mind's eye, how do you picture him (or her, or it)? Sometimes, not always, but sometimes I picture Lil Hot Stuff, you know, that old comic book character with the tail and the pictchfork and the diapers. lol.
First, I must apologize to anyone who was offended by the topic statement. My actual question is, what do you deem the importance of religion in society today? What role/impact/power over our lives does/should it have and why?
What do you think about the religious influence/impact in war? I'm not talking about the Crusades or Jihads but on the personal morals that lead people to kill each other in a war. I am sort of confused...
What was adam and eve before? They say that they were now exposed into the hash world after they ate the apple..and that gave them knowledge. and that gave them values. and that gave them labor. gave them emotion. and thus became man. So what were they be
Some very obvious signs of evil going on is the greed on Wall Street. Listen to the CEO testifying about their lavish lifestyles while honest Joe Blow who was a year a way from retirement has no retirement fun and no money and no job. I hopethe they wo
Jesus preacheed re-incarnation (born again) but his direct references were taken out of the bible b/c it didn't sit well with the society at the time. His teachings (and remeber he was born about 500 yrs after Buddha) were very similar to Buddha's teachi
Is this suppose to mean that I can't talk about God unless I keep it on this board? What I feel and believe in is not a miscellaneous topic it is who I am all the time and how I think and what I feel. Am I suppose to run over to this board everytime I
I am a Buddhist/Atheist so please forgive my naive questions: 1) Jesus was a Jew. Why do Christians worship a Jew? If they know this and still worship him, then why not just be Jews? 2) In Genesis it states that the Earth was created first then th
