Men will literally get crucified dozens of times instead of going to therapy..
In the same way that electrocution means the act of being executed with electricity, crucifixion means the act of being killed by hanging by your arms.
Seems like he's already come back to life more than these Jesus character, maybe we should switch diety things.
Edit: correct my noun forms.
Crucifixion wasn't always to the death. It was used as torture as well.
The first sentence of the Wikipedia article disagrees with you.
While I can't support it with evidence, I always thought that torture to extract information was a relatively new phenomenon (information is much more valuable now than it was). Torture before the 20th century seems like just human cruelty.
I mean, people used to think it was a good idea to torture animals to death as a family activity. Not even that long ago, and it still exists.
