Long hair

[imported_Wicked Steve]

I always thought it ironic that Jesus is depicted as a white guy. He must have really stood out in the Middle East, where he would have been the one and only white person around (except for the Roman occupying troops, maybe..hm...virgin birth?).

Of course, the most popular theory that I've heard is that this is just another example of Christians using whatever means necessary to get converts - they painted Jesus in the image of Greek statues (namely Hercules). This would explain both the pale skin and the long hair. What do y'all think?
