1. How about Jaden Smith? After all, Jesus was dark skinned in reality.

3. You mean Jesus wasn't a 6' 2", blue eyed blond?

But, but, but, the pictures...? What of them. Surely the artists knew what he looked like. They had to, to paint him so life like, ya know? Especially those with him holding some of his guns?

6. Yes, he was a 6' 2" blue eyed blond. That didn't stand out at ALL in the Middle East.

2. The Stoning of Soraya M. was heartbreaking.
