Bringing Down the King

If Jesus existed and he was just a man, then killing him off would not change anything, as they would obviously make shit up about him like they already have.

If Jesus existed and he is exactly how they describe him in that book of contradictions, then you could not kill him or change anything.

So to change something, Jesus would NOT be a god, and you would have to kill many religious leaders, emperors, burn many writtings... it would be more work than what one man could do in his lifetime. You would need a group of people. Not to mention the power vacuum would eventually suck in the next popular religion.

Now thats a good answer - worthy of a rebuttal.

My only thought is on your second point. It's still possible that killing Jesus off could possibly change the outcome of christianity. If you managed to kill him before he was able to travel abroad and spread his disease than the masses would have never heard his name and thus would not be able to write the stories and the scrolls and what have you.
