Raticiel alteregoivy I thought it wasn't the cross itself originally. In the more "orthodox" sects of Christianity, you don't see just a cross, you see images of Jesus actually nailed to the cross. I think at some point someone said, "Okay, this is just a tad disturbing, maybe we shouldn't show Jesus in the act of dying like this. How about we just show the cross itself?" Though that's just a guess. Even as a Christian, I didn't like those images of Jesus actually nailed to the cross. Plus, I never agreed that Jesus was a white guy with long brown hair and stuff. "It is a shame unto a man to have long hair" for starters. Aww, and I for example always loved Jesus' image biggrin my friend and I always found him pretty handsome wink maybe it's a part of christian propaganda? Beside that I was wondering about the shape of the cross and how it may affect human perception. Is it an attractive symbol? My sis told me it's because it looks like our eyes are focusing on the center of it... Odd, eh? sweatdrop Haha, that definitely reminded me of this.
But I think that it's probably because Jesus has to be perfect. Nobody would believe that the son of God is a fatty with bad bone structure...

So why does Jesus always look generally the same?
