On gold chains around their necks? " Lenny Bruce"

No, I don't think so, much as I enjoy Lenny Bruce. (I lived in a co-op in college named Lenny Bruce House.) I think if the same basic story were played out in the 1950s, it would not have been treated as miraculous. It would also not have been the same story, because the Jesus myth is too dependent upon the time in which it is set. The occupation of Israel by Rome was a sufficiently different circumstance altogether, without the difference of mass communication, a far more educated public, more readily available scientific scrutiny of the "miracles," etc. Wouldn't Randi the Magician have had a field day with the various miraculous tricks Jesus is reported to have performed?

There is no if about it. Jesus already die and rose from the grave.
During a trial, the burden of proof always lies with the prosecution. That's because a person in the U.S. is innocent until proven guilty. Let's see if you will be guilty when you face the Judge of the Universe. Have you ever lied? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever looked with lust? Jesus said "You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart!" (Matthew 5:27-28) If you admitted to being guilty of these charges, what you need to realize is that God sees you as a liar, a thief, and an adulterer-at-heart. Do you see the predicament you're in? You know the Day of Judgment is coming, and your conscience agrees that you are guilty. What will you say on that Day? Would you have any words of defense? No amount of good works will help you on that day. That's like trying to bribe a good judge by slipping him a five dollar bill. The judge of the universe will not be bribed. The good news is that God has provided a way for your fine to be paid, and that is through Jesus Christ. The Bible expresses it like this: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) You broke God's Law... and Jesus paid your fine! The Bible commands you to Repent (that is to turn from your sins) and place your faith in Jesus alone to save you. Confess and forsake your sins once and for all. Do it today - you may not have tomorrow! Then read your Bible daily and obey what you read.

If He had not been sent until then, it would not even have been necessittated for Him to die at all.Man would have been wiped out all together.God sent Him because he was already disgusted with us. By the 1950's we would have been long eradicated.
