The trouble with Jesus


If you ask me what I think of Jesus, I first think of William Dafoe and his muscles in The last temptation of Christ, and the romantic eyes, filled with tears in Van Dyck's Jesus bearing the cross -- and many other popular images of Jesus. I think that in most pictures, Jesus is portrayed as a very handsome man, and if not handsome, then at least good-looking. And I think how this is *the* way to get women to worship him -- the same way a woman would love her man.

But never would I think there is a connection between God and Jesus.



I'm not making a real argument here, it's just something I'd like to hear your thoughts on.

people are attracted to/envious of 6 things in this world

strength
intelligence
riches
renunciation
fame
beauty

god possesses all 6 to the highest degree, and its not uncommon for the pure devotee of god to be have some (or none) of these opulences too (just like its not uncommon for the son to take possession of whatever opulences that are given by the father)

being handsome is not a disqualification for being god conscious
being handsome is also not a qualification for being god conscious either

being handsome (or possessing any other opulence) is a gift given by god which the pure devotee display exemplary use of

Hmmm... this thread is another good example of why Dr Lou Natic was banned permanently.
 
Interesting topic, I've heard a comedian or two go off on how much they want to be ripped like Jesus.

I don't think the thoughtful theist would care too much about his appearances, as the true perceptible form that matters, they'd say, is his spiritual one.
