So you're blaming all christianity for artists rendering of Christ? Sure, that's makes total sense, we should censor all artists and writers. Please, get real.

Jewish men of that time usually had short cropped hair and beards, so Jesus probably did too. The fact that artists tend to make him with long hair just means that that's they way they see Him. If you don't like it, paint your own picture of what you think He looks like, I'll guarantee someone will challenge it, there's always someone to challenge everything, or should that be censored too?
