When I was a kid...I forget exactly when, but my mom was still periodically sticking me in Sunday school, so pretty darn young...I got to thinking about these stories, and how they were all set in the Middle East with a smattering of Egypt and the occasional Roman, and how none of these people tend to be tall, fair, white guys. Shame I never asked the Sunday School teacher.
