Is this a rhetorical question, or are you really concerned with how people reacted when they saw someone tortured, to death? I'll assume you're really concerned;
When people witness attrocities, they may have different reactions. Some are apathectic (lukewarm), some are angry (hot), some enjoy the drama (cold, as in the Roman Circus).
It's the folks that get angry, and start asking themselves questions that are nescessary for the spread of Christianity.

The blood of the martyrs are is the seed of the Church. Many pagans were converted by the courage of the martyrs.

The Christian church has claimed that it was for many years, but given the current environment, I bet they avoid this doctrine now.

Wrong religion that is reserved for the Islamic hard liners. Christians went out and preached love and affection for their fellow pagan humans.

Yes - if you aren't willing to die for your faith, why would you expect others to believe?
Someone who kills others isn't a martyr - he or she is just a murderer.

It drove the point home that they weren't kidding about Jesus. He was for real because they were willing to die for him. Who would die for a known lie?

Christ said we would be hated and suffer for HIM. Praise the LORD.
