@ Jonathan
The record is quite specific actually.
Mark15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
By the need for interpretation we can infer that Jesus was either irrationally babbling or was moved by the Holy Ghost to speak in tongues. Since we are told that Jesus is claiming to be forsaken by his god we must deduce that the holy spirit had fled and Jesus was irrational.

Of course, he may also have said: “God! Hey God! Why’d dja hafta leave me here all alone?” The record isn’t that clear.

Jesus supposedly said, ‘My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?’

and the reason he supposedly said it is that the person who really ‘said it’ i.e. the writer of Mark, read it in the Old Testament as it’s the first lines of the 22 Psalm.

I am a bit concerned that this story line could offend some religious people.

Cursing fig trees and aggressive disorderly conduct in temples here, love and forgiveness there, the turning of cheeks here and a bit of smiting and genocide there. Clearly a case of criminaly psychotic MPD. As Havelock Ellis said, “The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum.”

And, not only did he not know why he had himself nailed to the cross, he didn’t even know the fig tree had no figs, nor did he know it wasn’t the season for figs. All very ungodly, indeed.

Are Jay and Mo holding hands under the counter?

The veneration of Mary is one of the reasons why Protestants don’t regard Catholics as Christians. Then there’s the Trinity thing. Persona means “mask” but is used to indicate character. If Jesus is just Yahweh in disguise, then why did he cried out “father, why have thou forsaken me” on the cross? Doesn’t god know what he himself does or was god experiencing some schizophrenic episode? How come the 3 personalities of God showed up at the same time during Jesus’ baptism? *scratches head*
