A poster in the southern Spanish city of Seville that depicts a young, handsome Jesus wearing only a loincloth has unleashed a storm on social media, with some calling it an affront to the figure of Christ and others posting lewd remarks and memes poking fun at the image.

The poster by internationally recognized Seville artist Salustiano García Cruz shows a fresh-faced Jesus without a crown of thorns, no suffering face and minuscule wounds on the hands and ribcage. It was commissioned and approved by the General Council of Brotherhoods, which organizes the renowned and immensely popular Holy Week processions ahead of Easter in Seville.

As soon as it was unveiled last week criticism of it went viral on social media and a debate erupted over how a resurrected Christ should be depicted. Many called it a disgrace, inappropriate, too pretty, modernist and out of line with Seville’s Easter tradition.

Spain is predominantly Catholic and church traditions such as marriage, baptisms and religious parades are immensely popular both among believers and nonbelievers. A campaign on Change.org to have the poster of Jesus withdrawn was signed by some 14,000 people from around the country.

Regionwise he should look middle eastern, dark skinned and short, much harrier.
But technically he could look like anything you want since "jesus" never actually lived.

John 15:13

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down 300 rounds of 25mm GAU-12 gatling cannon fire at 3600-4200 rounds per minute and 7 GBU-32 450 kg Joint Direct Attack Munitions for one’s friends.

It's widely agreed Jesus was a real person.

Personally, I think it's fairly likely that Jesus was a real person, or possibly the amalgamation of the myths of several people who were well known at the time. I just don't think he was the son of God etc, all the angels and shit. It seems likely he was a grass roots activist amongst an oppressed population experiencing military occupation. Probably got put to death for it too, and then somehow his posthumous reputation got mixed up with religion and hits exaggerated biography was tacked onto the Jewish bible and became the new testament.

No need to believe in all the miracles and shit, it just seems more likely that he was an activist who got famous than that someone sat down and wrote a piece of fiction and managed to found a religion based on it. Although TBF I guess Hubbard did that so who really knows?

There is no historical record of jesus, only the bible claims him. And his death & resurrection is a stolen myth from Mithras in Egypt. Most of the bible is stolen from other religions.
