Regeneation effect = inspired by Jesus Christ?

when you think about it, isnt it wise to spread the body out as much as is possible when your body is releasing all that energy, hence the Chris like pose, if you do it with your arms next to your body where does the energy go?
Of course true it is very Chris like, but im sure that isnt the ONLY reason.

I'd say it's more coincidence that anything (as wamdue commented, he's virtually exploding with energy), but the symbolism is there for sure. Personally, I think it's appropriate the Master regenerates in the same way, given the Time Lords (with all their power and knowledge) are more or less gods incarnated.
Yeah, the original Doctors always regenerated lying down-with the possible exception of second, who we didn't see directly morph into Pertwee, and the Eighth, where we have no idea.
As for the religious parrarel, that actually didn't start with the new series. The Mcgann movie certainly has some subtext, especially with the contraption the Master puts on him at the climax, which, while also similar to a Clockwork Orange, slightly also resembles the "Crown of thorns".

I agree.
Crucifixion was designed to suffocate the victim by forcing the arms out and having your weight pull you down from that position. There was nothing spiritual or "holy" about it. Considering also the countless lives that have been crucified throughout history...not just Jesus.
But it's become a symbol of Christianity and all related aspects of it, so it continues to appear in art and media.
I would like to know how 10's regeneration energy managed to destroy the console room but didn't blast away his suit in the process... 
It certainly would have shortened the newborn 11's search for his gender...

But...umm...
You cant ask questions like that. It destroys the fantasy.
We'll get round to that after we figure out why The Hulk's pants only get destroyed below knee level when he metamamorphasizes.I would like to know how 10's regeneration energy managed to destroy the console room but didn't blast away his suit in the process...

Why is it She Hulks body stays more or less in proportion where as the Hulks doesnt?

To quote Bart Simpson "All I can say is; thank god his pants stayed on"
Not really as the master is a metaphor for the "Anti-Christ".
I think it's just coincidence, borne more out of the fact that glowy yellowy stuff is shooting out of his sleeves and he would look like a sodding rocket about to launch if he held his arms down...
also and forgive me if I have this wrong, as I skipped alot of RE classes, the cross is not a sign of re-brith.
Jesus died on the cross, then was taken down, and put in a cave, a stone rolled across the entrance, it was then that Jesus was reborn, I assume his body was lying down at the time, so quite why the cross is a symbol of re-birth I dont understand.

I liked the classic series regens when he's just laying on the floor and changing, and you get a closeup of his face changing

Disagree.
I think the regeneration effect is clearly inspired by the phoenix, and how the phoenix burns itself to ashes and is reborn. I always half-expect a big fire-bird to be born when a New-series regeneration takes effect and the Doctor/person stretches out their arms like a big wing-span.
