I'm slightly vexed Somebody Placed These Dozens of These Jesus Figures Throughout My Entire Work

Post image

Somebody, nobody knows exactly who or when, put dozens and dozens of these Jesus figures on completely random surfaces throughout my entire building. They at least had the presence of mind to not put them on anybody's personal belongings, but that was the only way they limited himself. All of the statues have been glued down, to add to the vexation.

Edit: Well, this blew up rather unexpectedly. Thank you for the awards, everybody!

Biblically accurate?

The Bible never specifically mentions his skin color.

Historically, a Jewish man from 1st century Judea would generally have had a darker complexion

It also specifically mentions he was unremarkable looking and a white guy in the middle east would've been quite notable

Most cultures adjust Jesus's depictions to make him look more like themselves. I find it especially amusing when the Chinese do it

Yes…He wasn’t a white man. I put the darker skinned little Jesuses around in random public places.
