I was attempting to avoid that conversation.

jesus was black ppl just hate to admit it. Nobody wants to accept the facts.

And spudz is a total idiot.

Basicly well I was going to see it. The whole thing being in subtitles well made me not want to see it. So I  ended up leaving that show and going to the cheap show to see paycheck.

And I don\'t ever plan on see it. Call me what you want but a movie is supose to be entertainment and when I am getting entertained I don\'t want to read. Unless the entire film is in another language thats different.

I see no reason why he would make it that way. I guess I\'ll go rent the Ten Commandments.

There is so little in the way of subtitles it not that big of a deal. Once i got into the movie I didn\'t even realize I was reading.

By the way, who gives a flying crap what color He was?

Well, in the movie, he could have passed for a Mediterrenean. Maybe Jesus looked Mediterrenean : dark wavy hair, brown or hazel eyes...maybe even blue, tanned skin, medium build.

The guy in the movie wasn\'t too white, but they do portray everyone in the movie to be white too. Thing is that like LIC said white man basically took the bible and wrote it for themselves IMO, there are so many truths in the bible, but what about all the untruths or missing links???

The Dead Sea Scrolls have more stories about Jesus that is not in the Bible.

i don\'t think he was black , more like tanned skinned and all and in the movie he wasn\'t all that white , everyone has tanned skin exept mary magdelene ( not sure how you write it )

He probably looked dark skinned like from Arabia... I highly doubt he was of African-descent.

Sorry, but that sounds so ignorant... It was in another language. The fact that, "you don\'t like to read" sounds very silly.

"Call me what you want"

You\'re an idiot?

I never said I don\'t like to read I said when I go to the movies I don\'t like to sit and read.

I have fun at the theater sitting and reading for 2hrs is not my idea of fun.

Just because you enjoy it doesn\'t mean I have too.


Furthermore I am not a bible thumper. So the need for me to run out and see this movie is next to none. I am not saying it isn\'t good because of the subtitles. I just don\'t have to see it.

And I will say that if you can\'t enjoy a film because it has a few words at the bottom of the screen, that you\'re not even really reading but skimming, then that is ignorant. It\'s not like your just reading a novel, you see the picture, skim the words, and its really not that big of a deal.

But to each his own...

And spudz is a total idiot.

What did I do to provoke this?

Honestly.

The subtitles is a great idea, it adds to realism, and just is a great effect. I think this movie is going to rock, even though I believe most religion is a joke. Religious or not, its a great story.

*kudos bar to Spudz*

I\'m glad you\'re at least willing to admit that it is a great story... Because... it is.

Read the bible, think about it. Jesus would of not been white. There are numerous reasons, more than I care to state. The fact is, the reason you think it\'s a joke is because all portraits are of a white jesus. Why is that? Simple, racism. It\'s a racism that most people don\'t even acknowledge. The foundation of most modern Christainity is based on a white-man\'s viewpoint and this includes a white Jesus. Was it black? Doubtful, more like \'tan skinned\' sort of like an Iraqi.


The problem really is as a culture, we have grown to accept Jesus as a white male. And now, most people can\'t fathom the idea that he may of not been white. It\'s a lot like the crucfixtion hands vs wrists debate. It took along time before people admitted all the portraits, necklaces and so on of Jesus\' crucfixation are inaccurate.

Wow, you just proved yourself wrong(bitch). If Jesus wasn\'t white then how could anyone, the bible, his fans(I don\'t know religion at all btw), etc, how could they ever accept a black messiah in the first place? They couldn\'t, therefore Jesus was undoubtably white.
