Don't forget two things: that Jesus wasn't terribly important during his life, and that alot of art from antiquity has been lost or damaged. Maybe no one thought it important what he looked like, maybe there were pictures that have been lost, or maybe there are pictures, and we just don't know that they are pictures of Christ.

Lets just cut to the chase here.......
Conjecture seems to be the favored choice used to defend scripture, which is all good and fine for faith.However, there are those who require a bit more Data to accept something as fact. I would ask those who follow the Christ to attempt to truly convince me that these writtings are actual documentation of the life of the Son of God.Just a quick heads up for anyone willing to attempt this:
I have three versions of the bible in my home
I will require Hard data to be swayed
I have a relatively complete memory of the bulk of Old and New Testament, as well as the King James version
I have a copy of the apocrypha....somewhere
I will tear apart the text as needed, please do not be offended
I want to be clear that I have no issue with Christianity, and am willing to do this only to try to prove a point.
