There are manuscripts that suggest Jesus may have looked entirely different from the icon we know: a dark, hunch-backed short figure, with a villainy nose. There is evidence that Judas was never a 'Judas', Mary wasn't Jesus' mother, Josef not his father, and it could be argued that the man who died at the cross was Jesus' brother James rather than the god himself. Which would make his re-appearance at the tomb the likelier. Also, John the baptist may have started Christianity rather than Jesus.
So my question is, even if you have faith, what you base it on - and how much truth there is in there. Would you be willing to accept that what the church has been saying over the past two millennia may lack so much as a grain of truth?
