The New Testament doesn't comment on hair length and our images of Jesus come from European artists. And even if he had long hair, it would be a cultural thing and not a distinguishing feature (i.e. all Jews at the time had long hair). The dying because Megaman fucked up, is the best analogy. However, doesn't Sigma also keep coming back in most of the Megaman X games? Also, Jesus only comes back once whereas it seems like Zero continues to do it. In that way Zero would be more like Ishtar (Mesopotamian) or Mithra (Roman mystery cult) who dies and comes back to life in a yearly cycle (usually connected to harvest cycles). I am glad to see that you pointed out that Bubble crab represents the working man. I've thought that so often, it's good to hear someone else espouse the view.Wojohoskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254232726419010279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377171993340886529.post-51848013306713623752008-11-18T16:22:00.000-05:002008-11-18T16:22:00.000-05:00Lester the Unlikely is definitely the video game e...Lester the Unlikely is definitely the video game equivalent of George W.<BR/>Also, who is more of a maverick Jesus or Sarah Palin?Mister Pig Pighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772475821316196247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377171993340886529.post-65205013176416561512008-11-17T22:55:00.000-05:002008-11-17T22:55:00.000-05:00okay Jesus has long hair and died for sins (ie sin...okay Jesus has long hair and died for sins (ie since you fuck up) and then comes back to life.

There ...I'm not sure I follow the Jesus=Zero link. There really isn't any ambiguity concerning his gender. Additionally, out of all the members of the trinity, Jesus is the most gendered, then God the father (who doesn't have a body in orthodox conception and is thus incapable of having gender), and then the Holy Ghost. That said, the Obama and McCain references are much stronger and more interesting.

How does G Dub play into this? Would he be Donkey Kong or Lester The Unlikely?
