Slightly OT, but why on earth the cross as a symbol of the Church? Wouldn't that be the last thing the Messiah would want to see when he returns to earth?

You're not supposed to think of those things Geoffrey ...
I bet you didn't go to a Christian school now did you !

Yeah, it would be kinda like walking up to Al Hendrix with a picture of a bottle of sleeping pills on your shirt.
On topic again, I have to get this frickin' game, just so that I can get temporarily banned, just so that I can sit on the cross, as long as I can log on and talk. That would be really fun, in a perverse sort of way; just to spend several days, singing along to random songs (like "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"), and shouting insulting limericks at those who mocked me.

And I would get it to so I could influence the devs to make small rotten veggie stands so you can pelt the crucified people with them. And guess who I would seek out? Yes, a certain someone singing songs from 'Life of Brian'.On topic again, I have to get this frickin' game, just so that I can get temporarily banned, just so that I can sit on the cross, as long as I can log on and talk.

What's wrong with wanting to be crucified (digitally) for a few days? Hey, it's a great way to hang out with your friends.
(Sorry, Navaros, I couldn't resist.

That's kind of...awesome.

Some say puns are the lowest form of humor.

I think it was something to do with how Christ turned that symbol of death and pain into one of hope and redemption.
That's one huge set of beams they have in game.
