it's silly that it's always the tall caucasian western jesus they see dog's assholes and draw in their artwork, when if he did exist at some point, he would've been a black Arab Jew.
@viridismonasteriense ..not black, but olive-skinned. Just as there weren't Blonde haired/blue eyed people there at the time there also weren't any sub-saharan blacks.
@viridismonasteriense ..Yes I agree, I'm just answering your statement claiming Jesus was black which he wasn't, he wasn't he was slightly olive-skinned..sub-saharan Africans were nowhere to be seen in Ancient Israel/Judah ..it was only Persian, Babylonian, Judean and Palestinian. So Jesus was probably fair skinned but like a modern day Italian or Greek. Also in the Book of Psalms Jesus is described as ''fairer than the children of men''
Me too. He's really funny. And I don't care whether he's an Atheist or not; that doesn't effect his comedy in the slightest. If anything, it makes it better. I'm not one of those snobbish Christians who can't poke fun at themselves.
@Cereghini I love the way after Marcus is like "You wouldn't expect Jesus to turn up in quite a dirty looking frying pan..." and David Mitchell says "No, you wouldn't, but he *has*!" XD
@Cereghini I think something sensible atheists and Christians alike can agree upon, is that if Jesus wanted to show up, He probably wouldn't chose a frying pan. I remember reading the bible, and last I checked, that's not *quite* his style.

@Dungarth no-one ever says they see John Lennon in a piece of toast, do they? They see what they want to see.

Who knows? Our Lord works in mysterious ways. But yeah, that doesn't seem like something He would do.
