What did Jesus really look like.

Well it's all BS anyway, but if I had to make up a story to justify it I would say that god wanted credibility as a human, feel the full range of experiences (although I don't recall being born). By being 'born' one is presented in a less imposing manner than just appearing. As I say it's all just a story, so I'm not sure it matters.

Of course it matters, I think you're in need of some re-birthing therapy.

The problem with the god theories is that they are always within the conceptual realm, heaven, hell, god, soul, mind, objective morality, natural law. The only crossover to reality that they have is anecdotal stories in a really old book, written about people that are long gone (if they existed at all)

If you are looking for proof (one way or the other) you will never find it. Even when you feel there is cross over. e.g. If Mary was palastinian and so was Joseph but then Jesus was an African, Indian, Polynesian or Chinese looking dude, then you would think, well that's odd, where did those genes come from?
But religious people expect that god keeps things well hidden, so well hidden that there would be a plausable physical explaination. This gives them strength in their faith. The more it is tested, the more faith that is required, the more faith they have, the more likely they go to heaven.

If there really was a man named jesus and all this, he would be middle eastern, not white. All photos show him as white.
