Really unsure about the symbolism here. Didn't Jesus die on the cross for our sins to be forgiven or something along those lines? So this kinda implies the abused children die to give forgivness to the people they are nailed to here...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I've never been to a church and neither has anyone I know.

Even in religious circles the forgiveness part is normally left out. The phrase often repeated is "Jesus died for your sins" without any mention of forgiveness. Since that is the common turn of phrase then this depicts children suffering/dying because of the sins of someone else.

I mean this whole Jesus thing is pretty fucked up / meta, so I see no difference here
