Jesus crucifixion occurred in some level of the heavens, those who killed him were the demonic "powers and principalities". That would make sense since the Epistles are describing a Jesus who never had an earthly incarnation.
A god who was crucified was not an embrassment to early Christians as apologists assume it would have been. Plenty of people worshiped Attis who died by castrating himself for example.
So?
