History Main / HippieJesus

{{Jesus}}' typical outfit (the long hair, beard, sandals one. Not the [[GainaxEnding sword in mouth, albino]] Revelations one that may or may not be him) and message (at least, parts of it - spread love and peace, leave behind your old life) nowadays makes one think of a hippie. Of course, the connection came the other way round - the hippies followed their model of Jesus.

* {{Subverted}} in ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}''--like most of these examples, Historical Jesus is willing to call people out about helping the needy and loving each other, but he ''also'' criticizes (Jewish) Ethan for working on Saturday and thinks Leslie's family was right to disassociate themselves with her lesbian lifestyle.

* In ''Webcomic/EvilDiva'', he runs a [[http://www.evildivacomics.com/?p=1437 coffeehouse.]]

* Jesús, the Mexican-accented carpentry teacher and clone of the historical Jesus from ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'', is not exactly a ''hippie'', but he is a bit of a slacker and appears to be a stoner. He's also [[BlackComedy a little clumsy with his nail gun]].

* And in Biblical Palestine, a short haircut and a clean-shaven look would have been associated with the Roman occupier, a thing which would not have won Jesus too many fans. The long hair and "hippie beard" would have been demanded of a religiously observing Jew, for one thing!

* ''LucyTheDaughterOfTheDevil'' has MC Chris, a hippy/DJ second coming.

* One of the apparent goals of the [[http://www.conservapedia.com/Bible_Retranslation_Project project to expunge "liberal bias" from the Bible]] backed by Wiki/{{Conservapedia}} is to eliminate all hints of hippiedom from Jesus as he appears in the New Testament.

* In ''TheDevilsPanties'', Jesus and Satan occasionally appear. Jesus wears a peace symbol instead of a cross and smokes a joint almost constantly.

* One of many fictional Jesus archetypes [[Theatre/HeddaGabler Hedda]] and [[Theatre/GoneWithTheWind Mammy]] encounter in Jeff Whitty's play ''The Further Adventures of HeddaGabler'' is like this.

* ''JesusChristSuperstar'' portrayed Christ and the Apostles as hippies.

* ''TheSalvationWar'' takes this interpretation to its logical conclusion and makes him an EruditeStoner. [[ObfuscatingStupidity Or so it seems at first.]]

* In ''SaintYoungMen'', Jesus has something of a quirky, mellow, hippie-esque personality and wears his thorns like a hippie headband. At one point a conservative old Japanese man yelled at him for being a 'longhair hippie'.

* In the stage play turned movie ''{{Godspell}}'', Jesus and his followers are usually shown in hippie-ish or clownish (or both) type clothing...

So or so, nowadays you often see Jesus depicted like this. Not just looking the way, but also acting much like it. Because, even in eras when short haircuts, shaven faces, and fancy suits were the norm, the character was always portrayed "looking like a hippie."

* Takaya from ''{{Persona 3}}'' FanNickname is hippie Jesus because he is said to bear resemblance to him by some people.
* Not exactly Jesus himself, but quite close - [[DarkMessiah Kunino-sagiri]] from ''{{Persona 4}}'' is seen wearing a stereotypical hippie outfit, complete with the "peace" motif. The messianic resemblances are probably intentional considering his twisted vision of "[[WellIntentionedExtremist saving people]]".

* Used as a joke in ''YouDamnKid'', when the Kid thinks if Jesus makes his second coming he should get a haircut or they'll think he's one of those damn hippies.

* ''Lucy, Daughter of the Devil'' has MC Chris, a hippy/DJ second coming.
