Which is the real Jesus?

Jhessail said:While you're technically correct, my point stands. Anything painted post-death (or anything painted in general), is not necessarily accurate like Almalexia stated. Especially people from Ancient times. I guess I could make a collage of Julius Caesar paintings but is that really necessary?
AelleCyning said:**** off. You just called a black guy white.
If you think my arguments are a hoot you really are a dim ****.
Wish we lived in Rome. They gave out free rope to hang scum like you.

AelleCyning said:You've succeeded in angering me by continuously '****posting' by your own admission. YOU are the one who started insulting me by mocking my posts, and you even said you enjoyed it and had done it in the past.
I win morally since I'm not a troll who enjoys riling other people up and trying to get them banned. Says a lot you have nothing better to do.
Amontadillo? said::Jesus dude. Grow up.
You face some minor criticism of your rather too absolutist statement and suddenly throw around basically death threats, slurs, and generally act like a four year old having a temper tantrum? Really?
For the record, it's literally irrelevant what these people's "actual" skin colour was. It's somewhat interesting culturally, but there's far more about them than their colour.
Further, you're the one who is not being a historian. Again, just because there's a painting we think might be of Cleopatra doesn't mean that is actually her nor that she actually looked like that. Especially in the case of a posthumous painting such as that. (And yes, that is the one I was thinking of).
Your claim that it must mean she looked like that shows your lack of understanding about the concept of source criticism, which is, you know, the key of studying history.
But most of all your temper tantrum is quite disappointing - calm down, dude. Seriously, the only thing you've proved to anyone with this outburst is that you're really quite immature.
