Recently, at a theological meeting in Rome, scholars had a heated debate on the subject of the ethnicity and nationality of Jesus. One by one they offered their evidence -

Jesus was Mexican -

His name was Jesus
He was bilingual
He was always being harassed by the authorities

But then there were equally good arguments that...

Jesus was black -

He called everyone "brother"
He liked Gospel
He couldn't get a fair trial

But then there were equally good arguments that...

Jesus was Jewish -

He went into his father's business
He lived at home until he was 33
He was sure his mother was a virgin, and his mother was sure he was God

But then there were equally good arguments that...

Jesus was Italian -

He talked with his hands
He had wine with every meal
He used olive oil

But then there were equally good arguments that...

Jesus was Californian -

He never cut his hair
He walked around barefoot
He started a new religion

But then there were equally good arguments that...

Jesus was Irish -

He never got married
He was always telling stories
He loved green pastures

But perhaps the most compelling evidence...

Jesus was a woman -

She fed a crowd at a moment's notice
Men didn't understand her
Even when dead, she arose to complete her work
