#1 I don't think its the crucification itself - but the whole entire idea of sacrificing oneself for someone else is so foreign to them.

#2 The resulting eternal "Salvation" is more than comforting to the Christian believer.

#3 Yup - there's a lot of bad ways to die (Tweaking copper thieves on live wires, anyone?). If your life and death actually means something, especially for protection and salvation of innocent family members or others, so much the better. Current Islamist martyrdom for self-satisfaction of Houris or 72 ~~raisins~~ virgins is not only NOT self-sacrifice, it's "I'll escape this Islamist shit hole we built by killing myself"

#4 Probably not as upsetting as Jesus reportedly found it.
