All players in the story of Jesus' execution, we are told, had free will and their actions were not pre-determined. So, if Jesus had not been executed for his perceived transgressions, or if the political tug of war between the Jews and the Romans had resulted only in Jesus serving a spell in gaol, or being exiled, what would have become of 'Christianity' in subsequent years, decades, centuries? Would his teachings have sustained a significant movement that broke with Judaism?

And the billions of others murdered throughout history proves...?
those billions, in the context of jesus actually being killed, prove that humanity was and still is in fact a gathering of jerks.
