Aside from the obvious absurdity of claiming that Jesus was ‘verifiably’ anything, given the dearth of material about him that wasn’t written years later (and which doesn’t actually talk much about what he looked like), and the implausibility of assuming that a palestinian jew would have been ‘white’ (or, for that matter, ‘black’), isn’t anybody busy worrying about the melanin, rather than the message, kind of a sucky excuse for a Christian?
They aren’t technically engaging in idolatry; but definitely veering well into analogous territory, pathetically fixated on the meaty details of their god’s alleged incarnation, rather than the, um, ‘god’ part. Regardless of whether your claim that Jesus looked like you is plausible or ludicrous, getting hung up on that detail says some…unflattering…things about you.
