Jesus (religion) is always depicted as someone with fair skin light brown hair and blue eyes. this is most likely very wrong. would you agree that Jesus would have dark brown hair and tanned skin like every other Jew like him?

here's a good one. It shows a composite of all three independent tests done on the shroud, and shows that it is dated, with a 95% confidence level, to between 1263-1283 CE, over 1200 years after Jesus was purported to have existed.

Correction. Linen in the shroud is dated, with a 95% confidence level, to between 1260 - 1390 CE. I was citing only one sample, not the overall age of the shroud. My apologies for my mistake. As usual, I'm blaming the beer XD

There has been some dispute on weather the sample was representative of the whole.

Though even if it did date back to the correct time this still doesn't prove it was the one used on Jesus.

I think he'd probably look like a terrorist.


Terrorist Jesus, he suicide bombed for your sins.

I met Jesus; he pronounced his name weird and looked of Spanish descent.

He never said anything about the middle east, anybody can be a terrorist, you just stereotype terrorism with the middle east, racist.

Jesus looks like everything. He's Black Asian Mexican Middle Eastern White Phillipino and anything else I might have missed.

Actually, if he did exist he probably looks like either bones or mummy like...
But if he existed, he would have looked like he was Jewish, since he was, well, Jewish. He wasn't like an extreme inter-racial baby, his alleged mother didn't go on a world trip. However, that would explain the whole "Young woman/'virgin' birth" thing.... "I am a virgin, except for that one world trip..."

This is true, however when was the last time you saw a black midget blowing up airplanes? Or a white guy with blonde hair and blue eyes putting on a jacket made of C4 and blowing himself up?

The fact is that, while any group is capable of committing terrorist acts, (look at the IRA) we are far more likely, in the state of the world today, to see them committed by someone of Arabic descent. It's not racism, it's racial profiling, and it is something that everyone does, either consciously or subconsciously.

Not true. Of the 23 listed terrorist attacks committed against the US between 2004-2009, 4 were perpetrated by Islamic extremists. There were 11 secular/political/anarchist, 2 environmental/anti globalisation and the rest are unkown as to the intent.

And over here in the UK we are still far more at risk from the IRA than any terrorist group despite what you may believe.

Interesting. And those who were not Islamic extremists, what nationality were they?

And I was referring primarily to us here in the West. I am well aware of the acts committed by, and still being committed by the IRA.
