So Get The Picture Right

An article about Osama bin Laden in a “Christ like pose” apparently getting a few Australian knickers in knots reminded me of a post I did back in January of 2003.

The first image is the Christ like bin Laden, the second is what Israeli and British forensic anthropologists, using archaeological and anatomical science, developed as what Christ probably looked like, as opposed to the fanciful representation we see at the front of so many churches.

Could this be karma coming back to play a ‘wee trick on the institution that decided that Christ should be a wavy haired light skinned guy?
