I would think Jesus standing there preaching would be more of an apt image of the man, particularly if I were Jesus. His message was more important than the fact that he was nailed to a cross, was it not?

What part of he died and suffered for our sins don't you understand.
What part of he was betrayed and murdered and then resurrected don't you understand.
His journeys and his works are a smaller part of Christianity then his end.
It isn't a brand, or a logo, that's where your bloody misunderstanding is. The crucifix is central to to the churches key beliefs structures.
Priests don't walk around with business cards with a guy nailed to boards on it.
I don't get it, the image of the crucifiction didn't scar millions of kids in the previous what? few hundred generations of f kids because the story was told to us in church growing up.
Maybe instead of reacting in shock and telling us how your kid was harmed by it, you tell her the story of what happened to him so she can understand it religious or not.
Bitching about things that you want to change when you clearly don't understand it is asinine and lazy. Maybe gain some understanding before you change the world.
