I don't know if it would have mattered or not. The crucifiction wasn't what saves us anyway it's the resurection. The fact that sin and death had no hold on him, that sin and death were defeated by his life and resurection.

After all, it was said that Jesus was going to be killed, not rot in jail and die of old age. Would he really have been considered to have fulfilled a prophecy by dying such an ignominious death?
Yeah I was looking at a bunch of prophesies before I posted on this thread but decided I didn't know what I was talking about and should probably keep my mouth closed.
I mostly wanted to say something about the fact that it was the resurection that was important, not so much the crucifiction itself. It's a common thing among non-christians to think us morbid because the cross is such a prominent symbol in christianity.
I had a friend once ask me why people would wear a crucifix, as it seemed morbid to him. I told him I didn't know why they would do that either, lol, I personaly would only wear an empty cross, as it is to me a symbol of the resurection, where as the crucifix with Jesus hanging on it seems to symbolize his death. Of course this is a minor thing of little importance as it is only a symbol.
