This conversation took place on Skype:
Alsehr: Why do people think Jesus was white?
Alsehr: If he did exist (which there is no real proof of) why would he be white?
Me: Did you see that pic I posted yesterday?
Me: considering they were also famished/fasting in a hot desert
Alsehr: Lol...
Me: They told stories, which were spread by word of mouth for a thousand years before anyone could write them down. Yup, I'm sure the story is perfectly accurate to actual events.
Alsehr: besides, most of the stories in the bible aren't even about jesus.
Alsehr: They're just allegories about moral lessons. And some asshole tried making a geneology of them.
Alsehr: like if you took red riding hood and tried to prove she was related to rapunzel.
Me: It's like merging the comic book heroes into the same fictional plotlines.
Alsehr: You get a ton of plotholes, and when it comes right down to it, none of them exist anyway.
Me: It's a perfect analogy
Alsehr: I wonder if in another 2000 years, if people will claim that spiderman was real
Me: Possibly, there'd be no eyewitnesses left.
Me: Nowhere in the comics does it say it's a fake story, it's supposed to be thought of as real, even if common sense shows it's not possible.
Me: I'm thoroughly convinced that the bible was basically a comic book
Alsehr: Then you'd have the Superman Saints of Latter Day Marvel
Me: LMAO
Alsehr: and the Southern Spideys
Alsehr: They'd all argue about whose plotline was true, because in 1978, the world was nearly destroyed by Lex Luthor, and we dont owe our lives to spiderman for that
Me: In the end, the stories might still have some useful lessons in them, but they should not be taken as fact.
And ironically I just saw this meme with Stan Lee today:
