(1,777 posts)Once while standing in check-out line in a store the guy in front had on a cap with the word bible on the back. I was curious what was on the front and he noticed me looking around to see it. He turned and said, Have you found Jesus? Without thinking I said, I didnt know he was lost. He was an older guy and looked a little surprised and the two teenagers behind me snickered. I added, When was he last seen? The teens laughed out loud and the old guy looked confused and turned away.
"When was he last seen?"
In my estimation: NEVER. As in he never existed. It's all BS.
But if he did exist, he sure as shit wasn't a white, blue-eyed blonde as depicted by Christianity starting in the 12th century.
