    If they just wouldn’t have killed him he wouldn’t have been able to come back and prove that he’s holy. Then Christianity may not have come to existence, and we’d instead have the much cooler Roman gods.

      Or if instead of hiding him in a cave, they put Roman cement blocks on his feet and dumped him in the Mediterranean.

      Enjoy coming back to life now arsehole.

          Yes but can he walk on water if his feet are encased in cement? Do the water resistance properties apply to the concrete or does Jesus need to do a cool handstand walk type thing in the middle of the Aegean

      Well, he probably didn’t and another religion emerged regardless.

      In Raised by Wolves it’s a timeline without Christianity where it was Mithrism (a competing mystery religion around the time Christianity was starting) that succeeded to one day be at odds with atheism.

      The first season is pretty good if you like the Idea of seeing what a SciFi scenario sans Christianity but a different pagan tradition instead might have looked like.

      Yeah, I’ve seen what ancient Greeaks and Romans prayed to - they are all shit (with the possible exception of Aphrodite/Venus).
