If lasagna is sinful, then I'll see all y'all in hell.

Then there’s the anime style versions.

Inaccurate, they have normal hair colors

This image is actually pretty tame for an anime. Hair, anatomy, and color are usually anything but normal.

Yeah idk why they're always shown as white lol, like they almost certainly weren't

It's religion. The truth doesn't matter, only the practices and values they want you to adopt do.

Tbh tho Adam & Eve's skin colour is one of the less important things

Why don't we just ask god what their skin colors were

I mean you could, once He comes back and you're in heaven. Not that it really matters tho

they almost certainly weren’t

I mean, it's not like Jesus who was probably based on a real person and a real place. They are completely made up so they might as well be white.

Nah it's fairly certain that Jesus existed at some point, the main thing is wether or not He was(is) who He's recorded as saying He is (personally, I think yes, He is)

Yes, he probably was a real person. No, he wasn't magical, he was just a regular dude who managed to form a cult of personality

I just sat down with a guy who's up in the leadership of a very large union. He says when a union member dies, they have a box that they bring to the funeral. A hand carved cedar box, and you open it up and there's a bible. He's an atheist, but it's just a thing their union does. A black union member passed away, and he was tasked with bringing the box and a check to the funeral for the family. He looked in the box, and what's in it? A black bible, I shit you not. Black Jesus and all.

So what I mean to say is it's whatever you are. White people just broadcast their shit everywhere and I think we see more of it.

I say this being fully on both with Jesus being a brown dude. I also personally believe Jesus and Muhammad probably looked like.

I must be missing something. What is a black bible? Do these bibles have pictures of Jesus on them or something?

That's how it was described to me. So it's hearsay, but yeah, basically some pictures inside with black Jesus and his black friends. I can't comment on the content beyond that.

They didn't exist at all, but it stands to reason that they would originally be the ethnicity of the authors of Genesis. Definitely not white!

like they almost certainly weren't

What does this even mean lol

Ngl the people in the screenshot don't strike me as white, rather western asian or somewhere around there. Not that I have much doubt that your average american christian cartoon just intends to make everyone white.

This perception is very subjective, usually when features aren't super obviously one group, humans just default to what they're most used to out of what fits their general appearance. For example anime characters will usually look european to europeans, but japanese to japanese people.

What would've happened if they had mailed the Garfsnake to Abu Dhabi instead?

Sometimes I can't believe there are other old people on here with me.

Wait I think I see two micro dots on that guys chest. Are they suggesting that men have nipples and engage in frantic hyena sex with monkeys here?? I'm appalled and offended by this image. I think this is child pornography. This is going to warp the minds of our kids. How can we ban this image from all future posts. I think this image is promoting pedophilia and naked aardvarking.
