The cross is a reminder of what Jesus went through to save us
Many people were crucified, or died evern worse deaths in torture, which in perspective makes his 'sarcrafice' quite tame in comparison. If he REALLY wanted to pull a sympathy string with humanity, he should've been ripped apart by rapid squirrels armed with rusty nails.
and how he beat death and made a way for us to live the best life possible.
Ok--is he dead? Then stop praying to him. The dead can't hear. Unless he's not dead, in which case his huge sacrafice to humanity wasn't all that impressive. To feint dying, only to live on for eternity in heaven--well, it just ain't that much.
Merry Chrismahannakwanzaka!
