That's just shooting from the hip, though. I could be muddling hymn lyrics with actual scripture, so don't quote me.
I think a more important question of significance would be this:
What if Christianity had never been received by the Roman Empire?
That's led to a lot of the problems we see with it today, IMO. We're better off as a persecuted faith. A lot of pagan practices and rituals were wrapped up into it once it became "official."

The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.

Yeah, can you imagine paganism polluting a religion about a man hung on a tree and/or resurrected? *NM*
