"FF, what colour was Jesus?"

Or God for that matter. He made us in His image and the earliest Humans were from Asia, so they must have been yellow/brown/whatever skinned. Yet, every Bible printed, every religious image in the Western world shows him as a white man. Why is that? Do you think it could be some subtle form of manipulation for us Honkys? The whole region of Bethlehem, Jerusalem, etc., is in the Middle East area, and I don't see no white folk about. Could it be that the Bible my old school gave me and forced me to learn from was lying to me?

My personal favourite theory, that explains everything about the man called Jesus, is that he was a time-traveller. Think about it. Some mystical bloke, giving it all "that" with extra sass - I'd be pretty lairy if I'd just time-travelled. Healing the sick with modern and future medicine. And he's white. The first time-traveller (if the End of Days hasn't come like you're cheerily predicting) will probably be some white-bred American bloke, so he'll be well-versed in the Bible. It's a good theory, don't knock it. Expect to see the film. Soon. Starring Mark Wahlberg as Jesus. And William Shatner as God. Probably.

Is that actually any good? I'm kinda suspicious of a game that makes replaying ones screw ups a selling point

Thank You.

Yeah? Then in that case, I apologise unreservedly for the implication I made. Anyone who's faith is such that they don't feel the need to insist on censoring anything remotely threatening to that faith is not someone I have a problem with.

I think God was mixed or white with a bit of a tan.

So why bang on about it? I made my choice about my beliefs years ago. Nothing and nobody is going to change them. If you believe I'm going to go to your gods hell for them, then so be it. Perhaps I do not want to be "saved" by you or your ilk.

Yep.
