But it would still be much better than if Jesus was hanging out with Sharron Tate when the Manson family came knockin'. Manson's shaggy swastika head would not be a very good religious icon...
Or man, what if Jesus had a better lawyer? The priests would all be like "Yes, God loves us so much that he sent his only son to spend 5 years in prison for our sins". Then we'd all be fucked since there wouldn't even be a murder device to use as the Christian symbol.
