Joe Offer BS: A question re Islamic teaching (46) RE: BS: A question re Islamic teaching 26 Aug 14

George Papavgeris says: It is no accident that the Christian "God" is traditionally shown as white and male, which is pathetic to say the least, when one considers that all major religions were founded by dark-skinned people!

George, do a Google image search for Ethiopian Icon and Coptic Icon.

I think you'll find some surprises. I don't really see a problem in people seeing deities as sharing their own race - that's what they can relate to. I do see a problem if black or brown or yellow people see God as white. That's a big problem.
