When Christians stop selling crosses and rosaries as a fashion accessories, then you can complain about how it gets used on art web sites.

And even if it isn't used for fashion statements and profit margins, I hope you realize that it is quite literally a human sacrifice where an innocent man was brutally and slowly killed to pay for other people's crimes (aka sins). Imagine for a second if you lived in a kingdom where the king was displeased by how his people lived, and so his solution for this problem was to have his innocent son publicly tortured and killed, and then everybody was allowed to keep on doing whatever they wanted because the human sacrifice of the son was great enough to pay for all of it (or at least say say sorry and "mean it" anytime they like before they die). Would you consider that to be an example of justice or love? I hope not.

I would also like to point out that you are on a web site called DeviantArt, not UncontroversialArt, RespectfulArt, PoliticallyCorrectArt, FamilyFriendlyArt, or ChristianArt. You shouldn't feel entitled to other people only posting things that you think are nice.

Actually, I'm a Reverend; I don't think in terms of "cool". And the fact is that hundreds of people were crucified, not just The Savior. So in reality it could have absolutely nothing to do with spiting religion at all and could very well just be a piece showing a reality not looked upon very often (oh yeah, and having nudity does not mean that it's pornography. God made us the way we are an nudity was NOT an issue back then, tons of people were crucified nude). And the answer to your last question, yes. I wouldn't personally add it to my favorites but all subjects across the board should be acceptable as art. That's what makes art so special as a medium of life and creation. We create art just as God created us as his art. Did he look at the penises, breasts, and vagina's he was creating thinking to himself, "This is disgusting!" Absolutely not!! The human form is a gorgeous creation and should be respected as such.
