Jesus and the Electric Chair

If Jesus had died via electric chair, would Christians have adopted it as the symbol of their church?

The question is hypothetical not literal.

Of course NOT, silly!

A bulky, 3-dimensional object such as a chair wouldn't make a fashionable bling pendant for 'artists' who used His name and lewd profanity in the same lines. (DUH!) :op

I can see it now. One large central electric chair mounted on Calvary Hill, its power cables connected to a portable generator driven by a hand crank being turned by several slaves. Then, on each side of the main chair there stands another smaller, less prominent electric chair, in which are seated common criminals who will be executed along with Jesus. The chairs are wired in series. A Roman legionnaire straps the crude metal helmet to Jesus' head. Atop the headpiece, there is a sign: Here is the King of the Jews."

Just before the captain of the guard throws a crude knife switch (there are no rheostat switches in 4 B.C., he asks the prisoners if any has last words.
