I am a christian, although sometimes not the best example of one. I initially found this picture somewhat disturbing. But I think it's OK to imagine what would have happened if a "SWAT" team had showed up to save Christ. Would we allow someone to be torchered like that in today's times and do nothing about it? In the movie "The Last Temtation of Christ" (William Defoe) there was a similiar instance, but int the end he (Jesus) did what he had to do.
