If you weren’t following the other thread, the goal is to drive Christianity back to the margins of society and basically outside of the mainstream European religious conversation by 700 at the latest. This doesn’t just mean Nicene Christianity, but Christianity in general. No Gnostics, no Arians. No Montanists.
I’m partial toward Radagaisus being successful in taking Rome and this kicking off a sort of Pagan fundamentalist uprising that rips the Empire a part, but I also like the idea of a prolonged and bloody conflict between East and West over religious differences in which the East increasingly leans on Sassanid Iran.
This is not for a timeline, but for a book series. The book series is about an American boy who travels to this dimension (in a dream, on a mushroom trip, idk) and explores a world where Abrahamism at large is generally irrelevant, even if it still exists.
So? How would you do it? I’m open to whatever ideas as this is in its earliest stages of development. And considering that we live in a world where I can have this discussion through a handheld computer in the remote mountains of rural Tuscany where the British conquered India, I don’t think there are many ideas that are that absurd. So, play nice…
