when I think about the fact that if Jesus were to be alive today in the US, he would face endless discrimination and profiling based on his skin color. Furthermore, he wouldn't be able to fly anywhere without people thinking he's a terrorist.

Not to mention not one fundamentalist would believe he actually was Jesus because, well, he wouldn't be white.

a BIG surprise. Not only was JC semitic or Middle Eastern, but he was Jewish and no doubt would join a Temple not a church.

When I was a kid I once had a preacher tell me that Jesus could take on many different colors to many different people since he was the son of God and God created all people in his image. He also described Jesus skin color as white almost every time he was asked. These people live in la la land.

I've always found it strange that Fundie Christians wouldn't be more supportive of a Palestinian state just on that basis alone.

And if by some miracle, he ever shows up in this country, people like Pat Robinson will think he's trying to
take over their billion dollar com-game, and therefor demand that the government charge him with terrorism,
and send him off to Guantanamo Bay for some advanced interrogation, such as Crucifixion on a water board.

So I don't think this is actually much of a slam against anybody.

On edit: Yes I'm aware that there are lot of immigrants to Israel who aren't from the middle east.
