Well, I'm adding my two cents here - not really in the direction this is going, but somewhere else.
My thoughts on the crucifixion are not theological. I was introduced to this image at a tender age - along with my peers.
It remains incomprehensible to me how an image of a near-naked man exuding intense sexuality, coupled with the accoutrements of a bizarre and hyper-violent torture, is held up as a devotional icon which is supposed to instill some sort of positive truth about the ultimate nature of existence.
Personally, I see it as an ill-designed and wholly inappropriate image for any but the most brutal of existential truths.
