(2,132 posts)That Jesus isn't portrayed by a blond. But the devil was too obvious a slam for me to even consider watching.

(86,600 posts)way out of line. First of all, Jesus wasn't white with light colored hair, or at least one wouldn't think so when considering the ethnic group he was born into. And the devil depiction should look more like a member of the Congress or Senate, perhaps a little more like Paul Ryan or McConnell maybe? I'm sure there are others whose appearance would be more appropriate. (Personally, I always pictured the devil with light skin... being dead/undead and all.)

And to be theologically more honest, Satan should be beautiful. He was, after all, an Angel.

What the History Channel Is Getting Wrong About the Bible
Not quite everything. Just geography, anthropology, archaeology, biblical studies, theology, race and ethnicity. Not all of them all of the time, but most of them, most of the time. The History Channel is engaging in a systematic whitewashing of the Bible, its characters and narratives, with a few telling exceptions. And this matters because of the way that race functions historically in the West, in the United States and in the Church and, how the construction of race in modernity is shaped by, in and, in response to the Scriptures.

As far as devil characters go, I have to prefer Cloud Atlas's Old Georgie:
Yes, I am That One Guy Who Watched (and Enjoyed) Cloud Atlas. Mock away.
