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.

Now you.

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 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...
