ok. well lets say that jesus was african at the least. even if jesus was black. the religious order would never admit to it. they would supress it...
i can only imagine how much stuff there is hidden at the vatican that goes against religion as we are taught to believe. religion is only what we are told it is.
i think its up to each person to decide what religion means to them.
personally, i dont believe we were put on this earth by a higher power, but i do believe that there is a place we go when we die. where that may be or what it may be, i havent an idea. but i choose to believe it is. as for the existence of a higher power, well let me quote agent mulder... "i want to believe"
in the end, i dont associate a color or sex to god or jesus.. i wasn't there to witness it myself and so i cant say with 100% certainty, therefore i wont..
i also personally believe that a lot of the bible stories have been exagerated or completely made up. but again, i wasnt there....
