.. now ,most people may of course immediately think of the man of Nazareth / Galilee when the word crucifixion is mentioned...
Indeed , he is one of the ((( most prominent )) people on whom this Roman death method was applied...
.. dare I say, this Roman method of inflicting death lives in infamy because of said man of Galilee . .

... I thought recently... There have been many methods throughout time to put people to death . .
Hanging , quartering , the guillotine , the stake etc..
.. while it certainly is a gruesome method to burn people at the stake , to have your head chopped off by an axe etc etc ..
.. let's face it, though..
.. many other methods of death were (((at least))) ( in the sense of ((as bad as it can get))) ) somewhat quick..
The cutter of a guillotine would crash-land on your neck , when being hung it wouldn't (((take too long))) for you to be gone and even when sentenced to burn at the stake chances were the fire would maybe consume the air around you so that you might pass out and/ or the smoke would make you pass out before fire could consume you...
But.. being nailed onto a wooden cross and being left alone .. ?...
First, it's common knowledge people where nailed through their very hands etc..
.. chances were you (((wouldn't already lose enough blood)) from those wounds to pass out.....
Then.. also the shame of being stared at by a whole community for a long time . And maybe mocked ...
.. then ,left alone to suffer there.... Not to mention animals like ravens et al getting to you...
Whoo-hoo-hoo ....

... Sorry if this thread may come across as creepy but I recently really gave a thought about which method of of death penalty may really have been cruelest and such ....
...what do you think..?..
.. quite a subject, I admit...
But.... always look on the bright side of life , of course .
...
No, seriously.. what's your opinion....?
