I'm sorry that everyone is jumping down your throat over this. I've come to the sad realization that you can't have a theological discussion on this site, everyone just goes insane for some reason. This is a big problem with religion and why a lot of young people are going away from it. Doesnt seem to be any room to discuss how things came into our belief structure. Some of the most interesting conversations I've ever had have been with a devout christian salesman who is 'worried for my soul'. (I work on Sundays). We have great chats, each of us explaining why we believe what we do. There's never any animosity, although i'm fairly sure we both know we arent going to change the others beliefs, we have great discussions.
I've often thought it is hilarious how Jesus is pictured.... I believe he looked a lot more like Osama and a lot less like Ryan Gosling haha. I would like to know how and when the stereo type Jesus portrayal got started.
