Re: christianity?

" if for auguments sake Jesus was NOT crucified, ..."

If he was not crucified, we wouldn't need Jesus. It would mean that humanity has learned all those things that Jesus tried to teach us, and that we all remember them all too well... however, that's not the case, hence anyone who tries to "save the world" will end up on some kind of a cross. Until one nice day, when we all become like Jesus and stop feeling jealousy and malice towards those we percieve as "better" then us.

"or if he had but survived the crucifiction..."

Well, if he raised from dead, then he DID survive the crucifiction, showing that evil people cannot distroy what came from God.

" ...would christianity exist today,? if so, what form would it have it taken,?"

I don't think that existence of Christianity is based on EVENTS; rather Christianity is there because people want it. There are millions of "forms" of Christianity, and I think that if Jesus were here among us and talking to Larry King on CNN, he wouldn't really see himself as belonging to any of those denominations... Sort of like what Karl Jung said of Jungian psychoanalysts: "I am glad I am not a Jungian psychologist".
