There was some talk about this back in the days of Bill Gray

and he told me Jesus wasn't dead on the cross, he's in

Heaven, so there's no use for the crucifix and a cross was enough.

Which I thought was brilliant.  

With just a cross you know that that is how Jesus died. Crucifixes, showing the crown of thorns, the nails through his hands and feet and the agony on his face shows how he suffered and was a good example to little kids to behave because you could see what Christ went through for our souls. A plain cross doesn't make you feel as guilty as a crucifix.
