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.
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
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.

Nah, they should have killed him in his avatar state. That way he couldn’t have come back again.
But that means less piss potions!
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.
Risky play for someone said to be able to walk on water.

Holy Poseidon that would be crazy!
You might be interested in Roma Eterna by Robert Silverberg. It’s a pretty quick read and it more or less explores that topic precisely.

We’d also go to hell :(
Nah we would go to hades, much cooler place.
What’s cool about it?
It’s where all the cool Greek philosophers are? Also since it’s roman - I assume some kind of orgies are involved.
James Woods runs the place, so that’s fun.

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

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