Crucifixion was an exceptionally awful way to die. It could take days. The Roman soldiers were required to stay until the victim was dead, so sometimes they would stab them or build fires at the base of the cross to hurry the process along. The mere act of being crucified, even if you assumed the subject didn’t stay dead, represents an incredible act of dedication.
Yeah… But I don’t wanna get nailed to a cross. Even if it is just for a day or two. That sounds no bueno.
I prefer getting nailed on a bed
