2. In the old testament it says god never changes, jesus did a complete 180 and taught a passive not an eye for an eye doctrine.

3. obviously in the old testament god is full of vengence this was not jesus.

1. In some cases ppl were crucified by hammering stakes thur there wrists; which will hold your body weight. and again by there ankles, not thru the feet as most ppl believe.

2. God was not Jeues, he was his "father". They were 2 intirly different ppl.

Regardless of whether jesus was the son of God, or even a real person, this is how cruxifiction was done. Also, the cross looked like a capital "T" Which make perfect sense, that way the nails holding it together need only keep it from moving, as opposed to bearing weight. And the ankles were nailed sideways, not through the foot. Also, when possible, the person way simply nailed to a tree. Saved alot of work.

jesus was a real person. He wasn't born Jesus Christ.

that doesn't denounce shit. they just adopted the cross as a lower cased "t" because it was more neutral because it was in relation to the pagan culture of the people they were living amongst. and no, they weren't about hating pagans or exclusivness. but anyway, the cross represents way more than it being the actual cross that he was crucified on, but more the fact that the person the religion sees as a prophet and God's son is the one who was crucified in the name of his followers of a religion based on love and compassion for others. but religion can never stay as intended because of man...

I'm pretty sure the crosses were like lower-case t's because Romans used to nail signs above a criminal's head to tell everyone what the guy did. That's why, as legend has it, Jesus' cross carried the sing INRI (or actually JNRJ) meaning Iesus Nazarethi Rex Iudaeorum, or Jesus of Nazareth King of Jews.

As for using nails, it was probably more for pain and visual effect than for actual support of body weight.
