Forget the symbolism of martyrdom and righteous devotion to blind faith, do you not find it utterly disgusting aesthetically to see a dead guy on a cross hanging around the necks of Christians?
This is a limp, dead guy... held up by nails... on an execution device... proudly displayed on the bodies of believers.
Am I wrong for being so repulsed?
If Jesus were hung, electrocuted, or put to sleep, do you think it would be acceptable for Christians to wear a beautiful gold necklace depicting him hung on a noose, slumped over on the electric chair, or with a needle in his arm?
