I’ll never understand the reason to put people to death in the most gruesome fashion. Why Crucifixion? Just kill the person, like the end of Braveheart where Mel Gibson had to be ‘purified by pain’ before they cut off his head. I’d say there’s some pretty sadistic folks running around

And there still are. There are some things that I don’t think I really want or am capable to know. Maybe the world will get better someday.

Crucifixion was a way of intimidating others — to show “see, if you step out of line, you’ll die a slow, painful death”

It's not Scriptural, of course, but it's out there.
