If Christianity never became the state religion of the Roman

we would be colonizing mars

Most likely Manicheanism would take its place, with possibility of it becoming state religion of Persia as well, thus ending Romano-Persian conflict, preventing rise of Islam.

This is actually relatively reasonable as a theory.

>>2640976
I never thought about that, good point.

Another thing is that Islam would never have risen, or at least it would have risen in a very different manner.

Lux Invicta.

The white race would be ruling the solar system free of remorse. We would be climbing the Mount Kilimanjaro, sun-bathing on Caribbean beaches and sending our kids on school trips to the moon to collect samples for their school's science projects, knowing that under our feet lay the bones of extinct races that once walked the earth.

But this is not nice! We have to share all these blessings with the less fortunate! It's what Jesus would have wanted!

Oh boy, do I have stories for you.

The better question is what if the Arascids/Sassanids were converted to Christianity.

We'd be living on the multi-universal Roman Empire.

>>2640912
Rome would've fell anyways, and some other organized religion would've swooped in and dominated Europe.

Julian the Apostate wouldn't have been an apostate, and might have been more popular.

Sure, but it would do increase chances of the conflict lessening, as a common ground could be established. At least for long enough to create peace and trade treaties with possibility of alliance against common enemies.
