Exactly. Plus...why would geeking out be bad?
Method of Madness:
Wow, Joyce, you're being super shitty. It's kinda funny that electric guitars are the biggest deal, though. Also can someone explain the occupied vs. empty cross thing? An empty cross is still showing what killed him, wouldn't celebrating his resurrection be an empty cave?

I have no certain knowledge but I think that some groups feel that a model of a bloodied and broken man nailed to a cross as a symbol of veneration is, at the very least, in highly poor taste, compared to a completely abstract shape. I think that I understand that; there is a touch of sadistic voyeurism about it at least in my view.
Then again, my particular group rejects all forms of religious imagery of all kinds as objects of veneration so I might not be the best person to ask.
Method of Madness:
The cross isn't a "completely abstract shape," though, it's explicitly a method of execution. Yeah, it's less unpleasant without Jesus on it, but it still is a symbol of his death, is it not?
Also, if you don't mind me asking, what is your particular group? I'm merely curious, you should not feel compelled to answer if that is private.
JoeCovenant:
It's actually a really simple strategy by the Catholic church..
"LOOK! LOOK WHAT YOUR SIN DID TO HIM!! LOOK WHAT HE HAD TO SUFFER AND HOW HE HAD TO DIE FOR YOU !!! VENERATE HIM!!!!"
