He's God-he shoulda known his religion would be called Christianity and that all churches would have a crucifix-but nooooo-actually he was hired by the Romans to make crucifixes-oh no? What did he as a carpenter build?

Ummmmm, are you serious here, or just being a donkey's behind?

A crucifix and a cross are two separate things. A crucifix is a work of religious art, just as an ankh or Celtic knotwork are also religious artwork. An actual cross was an instrument of cruel, torturous execution, not artwork.

Not all Christian meeting places are decorated with crucifixes. Obviously you don't get out much...

Carpenters build all sorts of things made out of wood, from wagons to furniture to boats to plows to houses. It depended on the local need.

Where did you get the idea that the Romans ever hired Jesus to make crosses?

Jesus did build a church. He is still building it. The real church is made of people, not wood, bricks, or stone. Don't get distracted by the artwork or the masonry.

Jesus was not confined to a church, nor did He accept the idea of an organized church. Jesus wanted everyone to evangelize and to follow Him the way He ministered to people. That is why He took the disciples WITH Him. Jesus is not a religion. We are followers of Jesus, the Christ. The one prophesied in the New testament. Christians did not get that title until well after His resurrection. I dont know what He built, as that is completely irrelevant to our salvation.
