There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk-plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

Cat belt buckle it makes me wanna fly.. Cat belt buckle it makes the ladies cry.
Yah I don't think he was white at all. And this is not really a religious thread, Whatever you think of Him, Jesus did live on the earth and he is not made up there is proof of that, just as there probably is proof of Mohomad living too. However what Jesus did and said while he was on the earth makes a ton of diffrence. (but that would make it a religious thread if we start talking about beliefs.)- Please wait.

Jesus was really tanned, but people in Europe didn't understand how this could be, so they changed him white.
He wasnt really tanned, he was Arabian

Jews are not Arabs. Arabs are descendents of Ishmael, Isaac's brother. Jews are descendents of Isaac. Abraham is the father of both.[QUOTE="Loonie"][QUOTE="The___OoofMich"][QUOTE="Belesur"]Jesus was an Arab.[/QUOTE]

Jesus was JEWISH... not an arab, not a muslim. He wouldn't be as dark as arabs.. he would be tanned.. but not really dark.
Jews basically look like white people except slightly darker.
