You would think that this would be a universally agreed upon idea.

People are selfish. They will attempt to "make" (whether physically or mentally), God in their own image, to make themselves feel more important, more God-like than everybody else. Unfortunately, it's direct disobedience to the first commandment. "Do not make any images or bow down to them..." Exodus 20. God knew way back then, that it would create division among us, and lead us to idol worship. As I look around at all the different religions and gods, I can see that God was right all along. Go figure.

I think it is agreed upon. God chose to incarnate into a Jewish family from West Asia and He looks like everyone else from that region then and now, except He is in a glorified body.
God is a spirit and has no "skin color."

Lets face it, Jesus was a rabbi born in the middle east. It's just that the movers and shakers of the west depicted him in their art as white. Nevertheless, I don't think it really matters as he is a universal figure and was born to be a saviour to all who believe in him regardless of colour or creed.

Of course people see 'God' through the lens of their own experience...hence also, the different names for the same entity...when they argue that their 'God' is a separate 'God' from the others this shows they do not really understand the nature of 'God' at all...'God' has no physicality at all...

Proof of the existence of Jesus would be pretty huge, but if it ever came to light that he was not Caucasian (which, in all likelihood, he wouldn't be), that would rock a lot of worlds. Of some Caucasian believers, in particular.

I guess it is debatable how much mineral phosphorus was in that burning bush, which would significantly affect the color of the flame.

It's pointless, but hey that's humans for you, if you can't believe in God / Jesus why do people even start arguing tad silly if you ask me, religion doesn't define a colour being superior so even more pointless.

I don't see why the color of Jesus' skin is even brought up. Why does it matter?

Everyone keeps saying it doesn't matter, and that's admirable, but I guarantee you, if I opened a church in a predominantly white neighborhood, and all of my images of Christ were of a black Christ, someone would say something.
