Somehow I don't think Jesus had reddish-blondish hair and pale skin.

Nathan, who emigrated from his native Australia to Oxford six years ago, said: "I didn't go to the darts dressed as Jesus – I went as me. "It was all very weird and distressing. I didn't break down crying but I did get emotionally distraught. They were bullying me and picking on me, saying that I was someone else.

That's another way that we know he's not Jesus.

Jesus wept :)

I used to date a very cute Jewish girl who had bright red hair.

Also, the prophet Samuel described David as ruddy (i.e. some Jews are fair-skinned.)

"Somehow I don't think Jesus had reddish-blondish hair and pale skin."

Which also disqualifies 90% of artist concenptions of Jesus of Nazareth.

Jesus' hair would have been black, bushy, not likely long.

I’ve seen Jesus on a piece of toast and He doesn’t look anything like that.

Looks just like him. (I’ve seen photos from 26AD)
