Anybody seen James Brown's mugshot on a piece of toast?
Why no discussion about Pre-Life? If there is an after, then reason dictates that there is something before. What was I doing in my pre-life? Where was I? Why did I end up with this hairline? Did I piss someone off in my pre-life?

There are middle eastern, white, black, oriental, etc. depictions of Jesus. One of the interesting features of Marian apparitions is that she appears as a local, as a native of the area. She too has been depicted as white, black, oriental, etc.

I have seen other variations, but few. It doesn't really bother me, its just almost comical that people can't comprehend another colored savior. I saw a picture a young girl had drawn of Jesus, and as wonderful of a job she did with the whole thing, I found myself laughing because he was white. Sure, it was her interpretation, but I have a hard time believing someone didn't plant the white Jesus seed.

You couldn't sell black jesus to wealthy white europeans any more than you could southern baptists. Sexy white jesus filled the pews.
Afterlife? Nope, once I'm dead I'm dead.
I take a humanist view on life. I realize that my time is limited and to stay sane requires me to actively ensure that the people around me have happiness and memories. And that I have done something with my life as well as helping do my little bit to make the world better.
I find the religious view point depressing, all of them are living to die.

I believe in reincarnation. Doesn't that mean I'm living to be born?
