You are 1900 years late with your complaint :)
In the first decades after the death of Jesus of Nazareth, the cross was not widely used as a symbol among Christians. Who wanted to be reminded of the humiliation of God's own son on the cross? It was the Christians (and their persecutors) that came after the first generations of followers who slowly turned it into a pop-art symbol (first in its abstract form, later with the shape of a human body on it)

- amanaplanacanal 7y agoSure that's how people think about it now. They were talking about how it was seen then.
