Do think the TeaOP would recognize Jesus?

If Jesus walked up to them he'd look more like President Obama than any of their heroes. They would cuss him out and mock him. I was raised Catholic went to Catholic Schools. Back then almost all of the Catholics I knew were Democrats I had a really cool nun in 7th grade religion tell me Jesus would surprise lots of artists his skin would be darker and his eyes would almost certainly be brown. It makes much more sense than the rights version of him with blond hair blue eyes

They would surround him with chants of "USA! USA! USA!" and probably beat him to death. Or shoot him and claim they were "standing their ground."

The only physical description of him is in Revelations, probably one reason that appalling screed was kept in the bible. His feet were the color of burnt bronze (dark brown) and his hair was like lamb's wool (Jewish 'fro).

I don't imagine he'd be welcome in any of those megachurches.
