1. As a Christian, I vote for the Middle Eastern Jesus/Yeshua. When I
looked at that picture -- which I've seen before on TV -- I thought: I wonder what would happen if that guy walked into one of the white, protestant churches here today. Maybe Southern Baptist. Hmmmm.

2. They'd call the Ministry of Fatherland Security on him,
and haul his ass off to Guantanamo. Obviously a terr'ist, don'tcha know.

10. I think only...
Roman Jesus and Republican Jesus would be able to walk into one of those churches. The rest would get their asses kicked and arrested.

6. He probably looked most similar to D.
Isn't A. feminized, just a little? Or is it kind of more childish?

14. Middle Eastern, definitely.
And you know what? I like that image best. He looks REAL. He looks normal. I can totally imagine that man walking around in dusty sandals, even toting a kid on his back, laughing, enjoying life. I can imagine real compassion in his eyes as he interacts with people, and I can imagine the true humility in his voice as he teaches. Yep, that's a believable Jesus. I like him.

15. Agreed, Middle Eastern.
Although, that particular illustration might be just a wee bit extreeeeeeeemely "Middle Eastern," to the point of caricature.

Being strictly silly here, and not wishing to offend, I must add that I like South Park Jesus best as a person, but African Jesus is the hottest. :)

27. I just watched a TV show about what Jesus looked like
and they used a modern day Nazareth family with claims of having lived in the area for 2000 years. They looked more like the Mid Eastern Jesus, but not quite. Longer faces, I think. Big dark eyes.

That first Jesus is just creepy.

I personally like Buddy Jesus.
