"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.

I think everyone sits on the floor. This isnt a joke by the way. Im sure it says something in the bible about it. Ask FF cos he probably knows more than me.

Are there any chairs or does everyone just have to stand around?

Ive never really thought of heaven having shops. It would be nice i suppose but ive always thought of it as just being in Gods presence. Thats supposed to be better than shopping.

Egdy?

He's abusing his position as notable.

I am obligated to feel a bit superior than you at the moment, Edgy.

If you were on your other account I'd be shaking in me boots. ;)

:P

Edgy, you're a Newbie?

Why would there be shops. Heaven is meant to be a care free place. There shouldn't be a drive for business.

Don't tell me, they have McDonalds drive thru's too?

Why wouldn't there be shops in Heaven? I don't know either way, but there's no reason, there would not be shops.

What good will gold be in heaven? So they have shops in heaven then?

I'll bet there's a bloody Starbucks there already...
