"ajaxed Christ"

"You've made a blondie out of Jesus. I don't care for those blond, blue-eyed pictures of a sanitized, cloroxed, ajaxed Christ... Jesus was a Jew. He wasn't a yellow-haired Anglo.  I'm sure he had black hair and a dark skin like an Indian. The white ranchers around here wouldn't have let him step out with their daughters... His religion came out of the desert in which he lived, out of his kind of mountains, his kind of animals, his kind of plants. You've tried to make him into an Anglo-Saxon Fuller Brush salesman, a long-haired Billy Graham in a fancy night shirt, and that's why he doesn't work for you anymore. He was a good medicine man, I guess."
