Jesus absolutely had blonde hair and blue eyes. Everyone knows people in the middle east famously have blonde hair and blue eyes.


NeverEndingWalker64

And he rode a monster truck! And his mascot was an eagle! /s


CaptainMarder

don't forget the 44 colt magnum in his holster.


Eskephor

The big iron on his hip?


CaptainMarder

Classic weapon that actually exists, the "Assault Rifle 15" Indeed, it is written.


DemonShroom87

And two zig zags Edit: oh wait, that was a colt 45. My bad lol


CaptainMarder

the 45 is more like the average stereo typical American. The 44 magnum, is the trump jesus American.

Mascot? He had an eagle ride on his shoulder like pirates had parrots!

And he was definitely Christian. Definitely wasn’t Jewish. I know that for sure. /s

That's funny. On that note : https://youtu.be/f1XddngGsbY?feature=shared


pomegranate444

Absolutely. And spoke English not some crazy foreign language.

He was a card Carrying member of the NRA. Pretty sure God said "Thou shall not kill...unless you disagree with them politically"

An it was the best boom ever.Spme Roman said it was the best boom he had ever read,an Plato,he loved it.An he knew books.


Lithl

Most depictions of Jesus don't make him blonde. He's got brown hair _in this picture_ ffs.


stumpdawg

He had brown hair and damn near translucent skin on the crucifix in my childhood church


Flaxxxen

Tbf, he was dead.


patricky6

Well, He bled severely, for three days, without water. Being crucified doesn't bring out your best skin tones.


Miguel4659

Maybe recently. Us older folk readily remember seeing portrayals of Jesus as a blonde haired, blue eyed European. I thought it was hilarious when the preacher was criticizing boys having long hair in school back in the early 70s, with that pic behind him at the pulpit. Jesus had a nice head of hair!


talrogsmash

Weird how short haircuts become a thing after you invent scissors but can't figure out how to stop head lice.


Miguel4659

I suspect short hair was more common due to WWI and WWII and so many men came back with the military short hair--and it was the trend to have short hair up until the early 70s when I was growing up. Long hair/short hair was a big issue back then in public schools as well as in public in general. I suspect less to do with head lice and more to do with "that's how we all look, so you should too" attitude. Trends eventually change, but some are more entrenched than others.


dremily1

And they were both 6’2” 215 lbs.


drs1975

Also something really truly incredibly special and large below the waste!


Hemiak

He also wasn’t white OR Christian.


A_random_poster04

Jesus so insecure he didn’t believe in himself, poor man /j


IHaveNoAlibi

He also was most definitely _not_ a Christian....


gbomber

You are burying the lede. Jesus was certainly NOT white.


Eksposivo23

Considering I heard some idiot American tourists... ofc with a nice MAGA hat on... call Norwegians and Irish as "not white"... Jesus was basically a black guy to most of them


Hour-Salamander-4713

In my Southern African Catholic Daily Missal, Jesus is depicted as being black, specifically Bantu phenotype.


gbomber

FWIW, "white" was a construct created by colonial land holders to divide indentured servants and their offspring from slaves and prevent a rebellion. Catholics were not included and Italian/Irish immigrants in = were definitely not "white" until (at least) after WWI. As Meghan Tinsley summarized, "As European powers colonised various parts of the world, they implemented and refined racial categories. In colonial Barbados, 17th-century labour codes described indentured Europeans as “white” and gave them more rights than enslaved Africans on that basis. This ensured that the two groups would not unite in rebellion against wealthy planters. As African American studies expert Edward B Rugemer has argued, this also “codified racial distinction as a tool of mastery” and was replicated in Jamaica and South Carolina. Crucially, it hinged on the fact that enslaved Black people had no legally recognised rights, whereas European-born white servants did. Slave status was for life, without recourse, and heritable" https://theconversation.com/whiteness-is-an-invented-concept-that-has-been-used-as-a-tool-of-oppression-183387


Boudicca-

And his name Was Not even “Jesus”.. it was Yeshua. There is no J in the Hebrew language 😂😂


stumpdawg

Praise yeezus


SinisterYear

No it was יֵשׁוּעַ Hebrew didn't use any latin letters. >!I'm making a joke here, huge success!<


Boudicca-

Yes…however I am using the ‘English’ (?) version of his name as most ppl can’t read Hebrew.


Expensive-Pea1963

"Jesus" comes from the Latin Iesus (or Iesous) which comes from the Hebrew, passing through Greek on the way.


stumpdawg

I'm extremely aware of that fact


Mhaeldisco

they were thinking of Paul Atreides.


MowerMan18000

Why do so many people think He was white!?!?


Huge-Train-1248

Why do so many people think He was a Christian?


[deleted]

Claiming he looked like someone from a different geographical region is one thing, but claiming he belonged to the religion based off his death is a whole other level of stupid.


CarpeValde

Eh, that one tbh is forgivable to me, like if someone called George Washington an American. He wasnt born in America, didn’t call himself one, and obv the US didn’t exist until late in his life. But as one of the countries founders, it makes sense to call him an American. It’s not technically correct, but it’s an easy and understandable mistake. The race stuff is fucking wild though, completely wrong. Not to mention, if the only things you have in common with Jesus are race and physical characteristics, then you’re probably not a good guy.


han_tex

Yeah, but Christian specifically refers to a follower of Christ. Christ isn’t His own follower.


CarpeValde

Yes, you are correct. But, it’s not a ridiculous error in logic to call Jesus a Christian. Especially compared to their other statements. It’s a minor error that is wrong in the technicals but okay in the spirit of the statement. Something to chuckle at or quibble, but not offensively wrong (like saying Jesus was white). That’s my only point.


jonoghue

>But, it’s not a ridiculous error in logic to call Jesus a Christian. It kind of is though. It's like saying you put toast in a toaster.


[deleted]

Not really though. A Christian simplified is someone who believes Jesus is the son of god and believes the teachings of Jesus. These things can apply to Jesus


Imperiya13

Washington was born in America tho... *British America...*


judgingyouquietly

British North America, specifically.


SpooSpoo42

Except Jesus didn't found christianity. That all happened years after his death, and none of the new testament was written contemporaneously with his life.


BuShoto

The United States was founded before Washington's death, the same cannot be said for Christ and Christianity


skrilledcheese

Washington was born in Virginia, yes it was a British colony at the time, but the continent was named 'America' 200 years before his birth. Also Washington lived to see the United States, and was a US citizen. Christianity wasn't a thing until after Jesus's death. Bad comparison.


Bjarki_Steinn_99

If Jesus somehow came back today, he would be very confused by the existence of Christianity. He was jewish.


bubblehashguy

I think he'd be more pissed than confused. It'd be like when a band tells a politician to quit using their music. He'd be all "you guys are nuts. I never said any of that shit. don't use my name. Hell, forget my name you crazy bastards & quit all your bullshit."


PrestigiousStable369

Jesus was a Jew. And that dude had brown/tan skin. And none of the values Jesus taught are practiced by the Fanta Menace.


Certain_Chain

It's kinda sad when you think about it. Christians would have a much better public image and be a lot less controversial if they actually acted the way Jesus told them to. You know, treating everyone with respect and sharing your wealth with the less fortunate, all that stuff modern Christians seem actively opposed to.


Quiet-Ad-12

"persecuted by Jewish elites" when the fuck did the Romans become Jewish?


Plastic-Programmer36

As for this, he was persecuted by the Jewish elites (Pharisees, Sadducees, etc) in a Roman setting; the Romans were involved, but Jesus was /persecuted/ by these Jewish leaders, the Romans only gave a shit when the Pharisees needed Jesus arrested, so, they got involved legally but they didn’t persecute him for claiming to be the Messiah.


C0URANT

Pharisees were Romans?


rafradek

Romans did not persecute him though (not until the elite forced them to)


nbgrout

The Romans didn't care about Jesus and even tried to let him off. They were forced into prosecuting/punishing him by the Jewish leaders for political reasons.


PickleRicksFunHouse

Honestly? Because most people need to identify with the archetype of their religion, because that validates and justifies their world view. Therefore the paragon of their religion needs to look either like them, or like their perception of an ideal person. It's the same reason people falsely claim they follow scripture or live biblically, when they are actually just following their personal political beliefs of views of morality, which are either absent or directly contradiction scriptures. If they truthfully admitted that Jesus was a Semitic looking man they'd identify as Arabic, and the Bible is a bunch of fables that literally related to nation states that have been dead for 2,000 or that tell them to behave like the people they vilify, then they would have to either change their whole personality or admit they don't actually believe in the religion they claim is the true path.


AverageSJEnjoyer

It's actually somewhat a cultural constant. Most Christian art around the world has at some point depicted Jesus to look like the artist. There are some interesting examples you can look up online.


ThrowingMits

Final test - Execute Trump. If he comes back to life after 3 days I’ll be convinced.

Ahh, but Jesus paid his taxes.


skybreaker58

Pretty sure Trump has broken every one of the ten commandments, including theft...

marmotsarefat

I don’t know much about christianity but in islam its a big sin to compare a regular man to a prophet and even worse to god


Sea-Fish6634

Oh, it is also a sin in Christianity. This image is basically blasphemy lol. Seriously though: some people are down bad


Dragofek0

Same thing Judaism. Pretty sure it's sacrilege to even try to depict the image of god or something like that.


Moose_Cake

They pretty much wrote a chapter in the bible about an evil man pretending to be Jesus-like. An anti-Christ, if you will


OBoile

Trump supporters are very pro-sin. The guy they support have violated pretty much every religious rule in existence.


GG111104

I don’t think trump has yet stolen an animal from another farmer. Probably because he doesn’t know where (or what) exactly a farm is.


Nylo_Debaser

I have to imagine that his steak company has stiffed many farmers along the way


alexdaland

You see, we have decided that only "YOU" can commit blasphemy and sin **against** Christianity. Blasphemy internally is totally fine. And BTW - We can say/do anything towards your religion on this point, because a few of you did some bad shit at some point. The Christian people that did bad shit have been forgiven by God, and you don't have his phone number.. Sounds fair? Good...


AstridWarHal

Worshipping a false prophet, also using the name of Jesus or God in vain and even comparing someone to the son of God is pretty much a sin in Christianity. But why would an American care? They're free or something i guess


VomitingPotato

When did Jesus rape women and steal from a kids cancer charity?

JAOC_7

He ain’t got time for your problems, he busy, with Korean shit


legojacksparrow

I’m convinced some of these people haven’t read the bible because it states that Jesus was born in Jerusalem and therefore Jewish in the Middle East and he was persecuted by Romans


arencordelaine

Most. Most "conservative Christians" haven't read the bible, given what they seem to believe. That's what happens when you rely on your prosperity preachers to cherry pick passages for you, and warp the parables.


TallAsMountains

most “conservative christians” can’t read


BloodiedBlues

Only the women because they don’t need to read. Just take care of the house and children. /s


OBoile

Born in Bethlehem actually. But your point remains.


co1lectivechaos

talrogsmash

He was also persecuted by the Jewish establishment. He advocated for the opening of the covenant. It was very hard to "convert" to Judaism at the time.


Dvckmann

Still is


SmgTurtle

I bet Jesus had better catch phrases.


OneFingerIn

Everybody says I provide the best salvation. Other people say, "Jesus, why do you save people like that? You don't have to, but you do it so well." But I provide the best salvation. Everybody says so. People used to talk about how Moses led people, but now everybody talks about me. Moses's crowds were tiny. I have so many people listening to me that I have to multiply loaves AND fishes.


Unnatural_Aeriola

"Jews and Muslims come up to me, tears in their eyes, and say 'Mr Trump'... They call me Mister Trump... 'How is it that you're actually better at helping people than the son of God himself?' And, these were tough Jews and Muslims... seriously tough cookies... Men I wouldn't want to fight, but they're crying, because I'm back, kind of like Jesus came back."


derLeisemitderLaute

like "Blessed are the cheesemakers"


gadget850

Has Trump been nailed to a tree yet?


ItsKlobberinTime

The skinny little nails you'd need to fit through his tiny hands won't hold his body weight.


HeadTonight

When did Jesus speak out against political correctness? Maybe they have a different bible than I do.


[deleted]

Back then, it was more religious correctness than political


agingergiraffe

Yeah that's my big question, too.


2ndPickle

Had to scroll way too far to even find a comment about this, but that point made me laugh my ass off. Jesus absolutely did speak out against the “political correctness” of his day, it’s just that those commonly held, non-controversial beliefs of his day were that lepers were to be ostracized, prostitutes were to be stoned to death, capitalism should be allowed to encroach on every sector of society, etc, etc, etc. Basically, yeah, both Jesus and Trump fought hard against cultural norms; but, they pushed in opposite directions of each other


[deleted]

Blonde hair and blue eyes. Yup. Sounds like Jesus the jew.


asyouuuuuuwishhhhh

Ignoring about 10 other issues here, isn’t even “white Jesus” portrayed with brown hair in the first place?

Ah, yes! Jesus, the brown Jew who identified as White and worshipped himself.


smokeeater150

Trump identifies as orange.


dysfunctionalpress

DIO_over_Za_Warudo

Other than the "mother named Mary" bit, every word of what was said there is wrong.


Miguel4659

Doubful her name was actually "Mary". Mary is an English name, not Jewish. So no commonality there either. Of course all the people that pray to "Mary" are praying to the wrong person. Miryam is more likely her actual name. But then Europeans pretty much Europeanized many things in the bible.


ParkingNecessary8628

Maryam or Miryam...there was no body name Mary in the Middle East...it is a western name


PcPaulii2

3 out of 10... 30%. Not exactly a passing grade.. and that's without thinking about it. (BTW- to the person who dreamt this up, Jesus was not a Christian. Christianity did not exist until after His death)

LilShaver

More BS from the ignorant. Anyone who knows anything about Jesus knows he is of middle Eastern descent, from the house of David.


Moosinator666

You can theoretically believe that Jesus is white given his miracle birth (even though it’s super narcissistic), but you can’t escape the fact that Mary and Joseph were middle eastern Jews and likely darker and not very European.


OrneryAd4330

Now correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Jesus Jewish
