he's a fictional character from folklore. we may as well speculate what Thor or Gilgamesh or Marduk most likely looked like. Most historians think he did actually exist. |

Or British. Most portrayals of Jesus in film, he's British. Every portrait I seen growing up, he looked like either Patrick Swayze in Point Break or Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski. Long blonde hair and pale as a sheet
I've seen some very cool ethnic portrayals of Christ. People tend to portray him looking like they do in different countries. |

You mean he didn't look like some California surfin' dude? Or British. Most portrayals of Jesus in film, he's British. Other accents just don't work for that time period. I tried to watch The Eagle, but Romans with American accents was just weird. |

I'm inclined to believe that he did exist and was a political agitator laying a claim to the throne of Israel. I have heard that Jesus's lineage could be traced back to Kind David and therefore he had a claim to the throne, thereby threatening King Herod. It's possible that the miracle stories were put about at the time by his disciples (spin men) to get attention and raise a crowd for his speeches to gain support by marketing mysteriousness. It is also possible that Herod got mightily pissed off by the growing support for him and had him dealt with to get rid of the threat. Most think that INRI stands for IESVS NAZARENVS REX IVDÆORVM, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" but I was in a cathedral in Spain once and saw a painting of the crucifixion and the inscription said INRI stood for INUIT NATUTORUM REX IVDÆORVM - "He said he was born King of the Jews". That would make much more sense as that was his crime - trying to usurp the throne by making such a claim, and a valid reason why Herod would get rid of him. Herod saying he was King of the Jews makes no sense. So, in my view, he existed and was a political agitator and was killed for trying to usurp the throne. |

Read the thing i wrote above the picture. "If"? Fuck your doubt. Also most historians do think Jesus did exist, they don't think he is the son of God or anything, but most historians do think Jesus is an historical person. idgaf what those imbeciles think Virtually all scholars of antiquity argue that Jesus existed. The contrary perspective, that Christ was mythical, is regarded as a fringe theory. Retards wasting their life studying folklore. Shows you what kind of intelligence they're working with.
To amend the words of Upton Sinclair, "It’s hard to get a man to not believe something when his salary depends on his believing it."
You need therapy. |

In the 50s and 60s movies about that period would feature a mix of accents depending on the actor. One thing I found refreshing was to see a Roman period film like The Eagle with non-British accents…BUT…because it actually took place in Britain their accents may have been a better choice. In any case, in real life they wouldn’t have had any accent we’re familiar with. |

Look at Game of Thrones, then imagine Westeros with American accents. Or The Lord of the Rings. It just doesn't work. |

Even though GOT is American it is based upon fantasy tropes and scenarios from British culture. I agree that’s better, but mixing up accents instead of everyone sounding posh British would be nice (why don’t the people from the southern lands have different accents?). LOTR I definitely agree. But tell me, is the 1956 Ten Commandments ruined because Heston doesn’t speak with a British accent? What about 1963’s Cleopatra with its mix of accents? What of 1964’s criminally underrated The Fall of the Roman Empire? I know at the time many Americans donned a so-called Mid-Atlantic accent, but not all. I think it’s okay to mix it up is my point. |

They do. In GoT, The North all speak with Northern English accents, mainly Yorkshire, while the southern part of the Seven Kingdoms have southern English accents, while Dorne has a kinda Pan Mediterranean accent. |

Oh I noticed that with Westeros, but I meant the people who lived in that land where slaves existed. They all sounded British. They should’ve sounded much different. It was weird. |

Dude you can be as dismissive as you like, but the reality is that pretty much every religion that's ever existed can be traced by to one charismatic person who started it. |
