Why venerate the cross, a pagan Roman instrument for punishing criminals?

It is more fun criticizing

This was the topic of a query of a believer on the veneration of the cross on TV segment of Dating Daan.
Bro. Ely Soriano explained that the cross was the instrument by the pagan Roman empire to punish criminals and enemies:  death by crucifixion (by nailing on the cross)  The criminal dies from loss of blood, exhaustion,  dehydration, and inability to breathe. Today's equivalent of electric chair, gas chamber or lethal injection

That the cross is being made a symbol or venerated for the Lord Jesus Christ does not sound logical to The Church of God  where Bro Ely preaches.  He said that this is equivalent to adoration of an electric chair contraption which killed the accused.

It does not make sense.  What do you think?
