What if the Romans hadn't killed Jesus?

Except it's an astronomical calculation, not astrological; the first full moon after the vernal equinox.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm indifferent to Pilate and his gang, but would like to go back in time and kick Constantine in the nuts.

RE: What if the Romans hadn't killed Jesus?
We interrupt this regularly scheduled thread for an important breaking story from TSN, The Sarcasm Network, I am your anchor Brian37. Tonight's breaking news "What if the Romans didn't kill Jesus". What if Dorothy didn't throw that pail of water on the witch? What if Apollo didn't put a curse on Casandra? But the most burning question humanity has to face is "How many licks does it take to get to the center of Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop."

We will return you to this regularly scheduled thread after a message from Tootsie Roll and that wise old owl.

Pail, not pale. Big Grin

I concur, completely. It's all mythology and fairytale. No reason not to indulge in hypotheticals, though, and I for one would love to hear what any of our resident believers think of the question. At least I would, but I can't help suspecting the thread is like garlic to them.

Yeah.

The actual crucifixion of Yeshua would be inconsequential if Constantine didn't make Christianity the state religion.

But would it really have made a difference?

As someone else stated, he would have picked another religion as the state religion. Probably Mithra worship.

Christians would be Zoroastrians and worship Mithra. We'd all still be atheists.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I fucking hate it when I fuck up a good joke with a misspelling. Fixed it though.

Great; now I gotta fix my correction, then fill in the paperwork and fix your quoting of it.

Aw fuckit. I'll watch porn instead.
