The cross. [ Galations 1 v 4 ]

I read this recently,/Christianity is a death cult. What kind of a religion has depictions of a divine nailed bleeding upon an instrument of death and torture, in every place of worship. And around the neck of every faithful follower Christianity is  a morbid death obsessed atrocity exhibition./I  wonder what you think of these words?. First  of all, if it was just about a person dying it would be pointless,and of course the death of Christ is not the whole story, if it was I would not be a Christian.The cross I wear is not a crucifix, in other words it is simple a cross but an empty cross ,to me this declare two vital truths ,death and resurrection. Christ did not die to bring us into a morbid obsession with death, He died and rose again,in order to bring all who believe in Him into eternal life[John 11 v25 ] Yes Christ did suffer an awful death, but it was not  a meaningless death,every year we have a remembrance Sunday,in which our country remember those who have died in war, there's was not a meaningless death.So it is, Christ death on the cross has a profound meaning,and that is,in His death, He was dying, that our sins can be forgiven,and in that dying He bore the punishment for my sin.If  He had not died, then we would never have our sins forgiven,never go to heaven, and would be condemned to Hell for all eternity, but because He died, my sins have been forgiven, and because He lives I shall live also.
A  prayer.../Dear God as many look on the cross wore by Christians,open their understanding as to it's true meaning ,in Jesus name Amen/
