RE: Peculiar Lamentation
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Yeah, right. They are in every protestant church I've ever been in.

Looks like it depends to some extent on the stripe of protestant. If it's called a "cross", it doesn't have the torture porn feature. But many stripes of protestant do use a crucifix:

Based on what I've seen, sounds like you might be doing god wrong.

Fascinating reading if you've got the time.

RE: Peculiar Lamentation
Please excuse the thread necro, but it appears that there is now another written source referencing this piece of art. End note 11, page 27, of The Testimony of Nathan Son of Isaac Concerning Jesus of Nazareth by Ben Armhardt reads, "Although Steinberg calls no attention to it, the peculiar posture of a female mourner in an anonymous Middle Rhenish Lamentation c. 1450 (p. 170, Fig. 188) is suggestive of fellation; this may hint at that particular artist's familiarity with an unfiltered version of the Testimony."
