What I noticed is that no one quoted here disputes the crucifiction. Does the "how" really matter? All the descriptions seem excruciating to me.

And I agree. Sadly we have had too many Christian movies--
and Christian sermons where the ones telling the story --
are ashamed of --or afraid of the blood.without the blood
of the lamb there is no Salvation. do hope Mel Gibsons'
movie wakes us up -shakes us up --and causes us to look up
for our Salvation is nigh.

If you think reading about it is so awful, don't watch the movie - its worse.

If you want to support Gibson, buy the ticket, skip the flick, wait until it comes out on disc, and skip through the worst parts.

That's what I intend to do.

"excruciating"

I wonder if the writer realizes the root of this word and really intended to use it?
