I get that it is important, but I think the cross by itself covers that. So do millions of other Christians as it seems to be a predominantly Catholic thing to affix Jesus to the cross when thousands of other Christian churches use the cross alone. It's a violent, grizzly, morbid, shocking image, and it's unnecessary to use in my opinion. It's ridiculous to say that opinion isn't valid considering the church flaunts it and my tax dollars fund institutions that have this underwear-clad, beaten down individual hanging half dead in the front foyer.
Frankly, I'm surprised nobody has acknowledged it's a bit on the graphic side and in poor taste. It's indisputable to me.
