Can you imagine if the Romans had killed Jesus by frying him alive in boiling oil like they used to? every christian would have a "fry Daddy" hanging from their neck all gold plated!

well yeah, but it's not like that
for the jeebus people it was some sort of mental judo that the instrument of their god-killing was turned into a holy sign.
just like say the word queer was reappropriated from a slur to a term signifying identity, pride, etc.
but in jeebus terms anyway it's the place where the human sacrifice redeems humanity (!!!). absurd i know but there you go. works symbolically better than literally, but still, not my thing.
