Let me start by saying that i am an atheist and do not believe in God.
But i find history interesting and was doing some research about Cesare Borgia when i found out that the Pope destroyed the real images of Jesus and had them repainted to make Jesus look like Cesare. The real images are still in catacombs.
1492 goes down as the year that the entire planet was hoodwinked by the Roman Catholic Church. During Alexander VI's term the Christians were fighting the Holy Crusades against the so called infidels. The enemy that the church was fighting was the northward movement of Islam as far up into Europe as Germany. These Middle Eastern Islamics took control of Constantinopole in Turkey and threatened the stronghold that the Roman Empire and in turn the church had on the world at the time. Pope Alexander used the age old tactic of discrediting an opponent to weaken his position. One major obstacle that faced Alexander and the church was the fact that Jesus, who their entire religion was based on was physically the same as the Islamics that they were fighting against. He was represented in all paintings, carvings and sculptures as the dark skinned man of Middle Eastern origin that he was. Nazareth certainly was in the Middle Eastern area that later came under the influence of Islam. How could they possibly convince their constituency of the wickedness of the enemy when their own messiah looked like them? Although the original Christians were certainly Middle Eastern people of color, by the time Alexander ascended to the papacy, Europeans had long taken control of the church. Pope Alexander VI's solution was to have every image of the real Jesus destroyed and literally had the Vatican gutted and redone. He commissioned Leonardo Di Vinci to recast Jesus in the image of his son Cesare Borgia with the express intent of passing off historical Jesus as European in appearance. To this day, there are armed guards stationed around the clock at the entrances of the catacombs to keep anyone from viewing the original wall carvings of Jesus in his legitimate ethnic representation.
Don't Christians realize that the images they have in their chuches and homes are portraits of Cesare Borgia?
There are animated scientist's depictions of what Jesus may have really looked like, but I want to see the image that people worshiped before the Pope had Jesus painted to look like his son

There is actual very little evidence he ever even existed, dead serious.
Belief without evidence is a fools game.

This is why nobody takes atheists seriously. They disregard History and often times even science and twist it around to fit their narrative.

Rembrandts Jesus paintings are probably accurate, where he looks like an actual Jew. Not a fukking Anglo Saxon lmfao
Can see why they changed it. He looks like the Le Happy Jewish merchant meme and everyone hates Jews so..
It also makes sense why every Italian or Spaniard with a mustache, beard and long hair looks like the common depiction of Jesus, because of that depiction being based off of a Spanish Italian guy.
