The symbol of mainstream Christianity becomes the stake.
I wish you hadn't said that, I have a persistent image now of a Jesus popsicle as an icon instead of Christ nailed to a cross, sort of saviour on a stick.

AFAIK they tried not to injure internal organs in order to keep impaled alive as long as possible, so this was harder than crusifiction.Nonsense. Suspend him in the air, get a wooden stake(obviously, a large one), and have 4-6 Roman Soldiers charge at him. They then hoist him up.
If jesus was impaled, then they 'probably' would have left his body to rot on the stakes, making reserection unlikely.
it's not like it would be easy to remove a full grown man, bleeding from his mouth and... ahem, and bury/entomb/whatever him
