Note: I just thought of this and it itched my brain while youtubing and enjoying that video http://youtube.com/watch?v=WnMH09dBNSI&...ted&search= and please delete or lock this topic if you think this is inappropriate.

Philippines is a very catholic country and Filipinos believe that Jesus Christ is the lord and saviour. Before I pressed the submit button, I looked at the image of Chirst on the wall and I have observed that Jesus don't have black/dark eyes which is the common eye color of Filipinos. Jesus also have caucasoid features and has fair skin. Since Filipinos worship Christ and kneel infront of him, does this somehow contributes unconciously to why Filipinos never see himself/herself equal to the (white)caucasians and so worship them ?

Whew...Thank God I'm not religious. (not an oxymoron, but a figure of speech shifty.gif )

But I wouldn't mind a Caucasoid woman kneeling infront of me and polishing my holy knob. biggrin.gif

$hit the white people created Jesus to look white, and they worship him for longer than most people ever had. they built a whole period worshipping Him,...so does that mean he's worshipping his own "whiteness"? (sorry but Caucasoid is such an old non-functional terminology)

Funny though, there are alot of cultures worshipping a white clad god. Ie Quetzalcoatl (Aztec), Lono (Hawaiian), those people who brought rice to the people of Luzon. It's not because they were "white" but because white in many culotures symbolize purity ie Shinto.

this is wierd, cause some african americans near a subway station are preaching that Jesus is black and the original egyptians and jews are black

Well what about The Black Nazarene

I don't think Filipinos really care what color Jesus is. They'll take him any way he comes.

I've seen pics of Jesus with brown eyes, and lighter eyes. The white folks have taylor made Jesus with white features so it would be easier for them to relate to him. I don't know about Jesus. I just concentrate on God. I'm more spiritual than religious. God is everyone and everything. People often say that God is love. If you want to know what God looks like, you can see God's face in the face of a person you truly love. So they say.

Because Buddha is East Asianized, Buddha is also "hellenized" when it spreaded to the west http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Buddhism

so are you saying that we should make an image of a Filipino Jesus?
hey dude did it ever entered your mind that no matter what Jesus looks like we would still kneel and pray before him?
