No. We need to go bigger. Block out the sun by dying the sky pink. Plunge the world into the pink ice age.

On the "Jesus was white side", the icon and shroud arguments are both irrelevant.
Doesn't matter how old the icon is, it's not gonna be an actual portrait of him made by someone who actually met him. And if you think you can somehow prove that the author actually met Jesus in person... good luck with that.
As for the shroud, it's supposed origin was never proven. And the only carbon dating the Catholic Church allowed on it placed it centuries after Christ.
The rest seem like good arguments. If I cared about the debate I'd look further into them.

As for the "Jesus was black" side, if anyone actually thinks Jesus was African, they're 100% moron. The Middle-East is not in Africa. At best you can hope for Jesus to be an average Middle Easterner, which will be more "brown" than the average modern Caucasian, but fundamentally won't look different enough that you can't mistake him for a tanned Caucasian (and something tells me 2000 years ago people got more sun exposure than today).

TL;DR: Jesus definitely wasn't African/black. He was probably an average Middle-Easterner, but people overestimate the differences between a "brown" Middle-East person, and a Caucasian.

The scene was fine initially, because we had limited knowledge of how being a jedi worked. We didn't know if there were any requirements to come back as a force ghost.

The scene became broken once the lore got expanded with prequel stuff, and force ghost became something you needed to dedicate your life to the light side to master. NOW it doesn't make sense that a Sith that came back to the light side a few minutes before his death gets to become a force ghost.

Man, it's a hard decision whether to watch this... but Rakieta Law has so much potential on that show.

Attempting to kill yourself does seem like a good way to deal with coronavirus.

I can't deny that the way he says "currrrva" is brilliant.

Maybe you have a particular example in mind I'm not aware of, but from my experience it's not a matter of "intentionally inflicting as much pain", just a matter of "slaughtering animals in a simple/traditional/primitive fashion is gonna inflict pain".

Raising a pig and killing it close to Christmas is still a big tradition in parts of my country, especially in rural areas. And in other parts we do something similar, but with lambs for Easter. And a subsistence farmer simply doesn't have the means to kill them by "humane ways". A knife to the throat and a lot of animal screams is what you're gonna get.

You could argue for injecting the animals with tranquilizers, but you won't have enough veterinarians to go around doing it, the uneducated farmer won't have a clue about the dosages, and even if they did, telling them to inject the food they worked hard to grow themselves with unknown "chemicals" is basically a great offense.
