So your theory is that an olive skinned, Italian, Roman Catholic, famously portrayed God as a "White Anglo Saxon Protestant" a hundred years before the Reformation, because he wanted God to look just like him

Exactly , you really catch on fast don't you ?

But more than a theory if you took your homeschooled "one book" education & tried to advance yourself a little farther rather than come here daily & have it spoon fed to you , might be amazed what the world has in store for you when you learn some basic things about Human history & Natural history . After all these encompass your "God's Creation" , so we should think you would lend an attentive ear?

More than a theory, its part of the older tradition of Roman Empire's wealthier liesure class that found itself often attempting to transform their usually darker olive skins to white & lighter colored appearance . This was considered a desireable thing and many kinds of applied cosmetics , powders & lotions were in use to make their naturally darker skins lighter . There was an entire industry built up around the use of such cosmetics & perfumes in use from the highest & lowest classes with one central theme of giving the appearance of lighter skin .

* We know how hard you slave at trying to sound so gloriously pedantic and how exhausting all this copying & pasting is but why in the world do you keep emphasizing "Italian", "Roman" , "Catholic" so redundantly in the amse sentence when to even someone with sub average intelligence see they are all synonmous ?

( Its really self-evident Roman's are Italians & generally find most Italians are Roman Catholic ! )

BTW You have never thanked me for teaching you that there was no chicken blood used at the Passover.

The observation being made & quite humorus is to see how this "Jehova" & glorious mind behind ALL the UNIVERSE is so reduced to using such high tech methods of sympathetic magic & animal blood to show his powers . Perhaps the subtlety of the humor escapes you but its really quite obvious that this divine mind certainly had a very limited imagination if this was the kind of way he employed using his vast superior intelligence , lambs blood or chicken blood .

Then later on he comes up with an even better plan instead of demanding the millions of animal sacrifices the early Israelite's practiced for centuries , he later comes up with the Big Kahuna Sacrifice of himself which is a story that was a story widely seen in all the former earliest mythologies like that of Prometheus & some of the older still Egyptians etc .

We know you have running water & electricity where you are but why is it that in any discussion about human History you behave & act as if you were completely homeschooled & have no desire to do any research of your own ? Information is just a mouse click away, compared to the announcement of a new treatment for systic fibrosis today researching right now out of Vertex Pharma , do you really think that anyone out of handful of fundamentalists really care about this ancient fable's details to this extent?

Here's a neat trick , every night before bed & in the morning when you awake give thanks for remembering , this is the 21rst century !
