Or would we all be pagans still? I believe there would be christianity and everyone would practice it too. How about everyone else?

hi handsome i am not Christian, but as far as i know this is the short version : .. it is shown in the movie Jesus Christ ... the ancient people used blood sacrifices of innocent animals as an offering to god ~ it is similar to the practicing of "Festival of Sacrifice" Eid Al-Adha by the Muslims .. some say the sacrifice is done to wash away sin and some say it is thanksgiving ... so everybody started to do alot of sacrifices all around to wash away their sin ... and GOD had to intervien .. SO The "Lamb of God" or Son of God was sent to stop this practice and be the last one to be sacrificed ... During his last meal , jesus said "This is my body, which is given up for you" This is my blood of new coveand, which is shed .. unto the forgiveness of sins ..." Christianity is born with execution of Jesus Christ cheers

If your read the scriptures you would clearly understand that Jesus DYING for our SINS is what caused Christianity to begin.

hmm...if Christ was never executed, i doubt if there is Christianity... but i think part of humanity (on a bigger scale) would produce and give birth to a religion similar to Christianity where even if the world is full of issues, there is one common point for everyone. =)
