He said here that Jesus was probably ugly

Regardless, I agree with Phoenix. Christianity is so media-friendly and saturated with Hollywood ideas that you probalby couldn't find much of anything that does represent Jesus... without making it, that is.

"For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful, but his appearance is unimpressive, and he speaks poorly" (2 Cor 10:10)

And Moses admitted to being unable to think on his feet-
"O Lord, I have never been eloquent, i'm slow of speech and tongue." (Exodus 4:10)

And Jonah was so scared he refused pointblank to be a prophet and jumped on a ship to escape God -
"Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish." (Jonah 1:3)

And Jeremiah said - "Lord i'm no good at speaking, i'm too young and people won't take me seriously" (Jer 1:6)

The moral of all this? - many Biblical people were as ordinary as you and me..
