Daxus Inferno wrote: Jesus probably didn't even exist OTL, so this TL would be have to suppose that Jesus actually did exist as a historical figure, so this TL requires pre-existing bias to even differntiate at all. Even religous theologians (e.g. Reza Aslan) accept that Jesus, at least the person we imagine when someones ays the name, most likely didn't exist in the first place. The first records of anyone mentioning him was like 30 years after he allegedly died.

A TL in which Christianity didn't form would be fine, but making a TL based off of "What if Jesus was never born?" is absolutely silly and requires ahistorical assumptions of OTL. If you look at the PoD, it clearly states that Jesus was killed in his youth, and not born at all. In the bible, Herod sent an order out to kill all children under two in the city of Jeruselum.

''16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:

18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, Refusing to be comforted, Because they are no more.”''

-Matthew 2:16-18

You can use your sources and I'll use mine, but I think a book sold 5 Billion times is a legitimate source for a timeline.

Also, because of the wiki's policy of NCNC, I'm leaving it up to Lordganon to tag this timeline or not.
