Of course instead of people being made in God's image Jesus was made in a real person's image.
Unfortunately I did not check this out and a knowledgeable poster tells me Snopes says it is a hoax.[snopes.com]
Rather appropriate, isn't it really? The Gospels made up Jesus character and life decades after he supposedly lived and about a third of Paul's letters are considered forgeries by biblical experts, so why not a faked image of Jesus as well? It just caps off the full hoax of who Jesus is or was - if he was at all. Certainly, the depictions of Jesus in writing and portraits are not of an actual man but highly embellished at best.
Paul's letters do not have to be forgeries. Saul of Tarsus himself was a forgery and the Christianity of the NT is according to him.
This is misinformation.

snopes isn't exactly a reliable source either
Snopes is a great fact check site.
I’ve heard some rumors about Snopes but every time I’ve checked out those rumors it turns out it’s conspiracy theory. They are a pretty good source for debunking myths so I still trust them.
Please accept my apologies and I will add your info to the Post.
@Lorajay snopes like wiki are extremely biased against Atheists and Atheism pro Vatican.... This report on the Borgia's looks consistant with female popes exposed by a chair high up where Cardinals may walk underneath through a hole to examine the sacred testicles testament to papal penis requirements.... No apology needed
@HelenRoseBuck wiki blocks me from removing outright lies against me in my own biography.... And the biography of Charles Chilton Moore.... snopes&wiki are conspiring against truth telling
There is no proof at all but Cesare was actually used as the model, what is more likely is that the modern image of Jesus was emerging at about that time, and of course it followed the then popular fashion, of what a handsom man should look like was used. While Cesare, being a fashionable man would also tend to follow the same look, in the pictures of himself, though being the supermodel of the time, he may also have influenced the look, to some degree.
