Don't know about the nationality, but I do know he can't help you hit a curve ball.Superman wrote:Jesus was a Mexican and he pronounced his name "Hay-SOOS." That guy moved after borrowing my gardening clippers too, but the handle was broken. HA HA! Joke is on him!

And why would he be a mix of all that when he was an Aramaic Jew from a specific area?
Simply because by that time, the populace had intermixed quite thoroughly with one another. The Jews had long since come out of Egypt after having been there for a long itme, and some had been taken to Babylon and then rturned, the Phoenicians ran rampant through there (and may be responsible for the origin of the name 'Palestine')...
Judaism is the religious side of Hebrews, which is an ethnic distinction. Or that's ben my take on it, since people who convert to Judaism are fully Jewish, but do not sudden;y change their skin color, etc, to become a new ethnic group.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Do you not believe in Thor, the Viking Thunder God? If not, then do you consider your state of disbelief in Thor to be a religion? Are you an AThorist?-Darth Wong on Atheism as a religion
