Minimalist has given you the key to the interpretation I suggest that you follow where she points on this one. Psalm 22
I would also suggest you take the following advise
"Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."
Matthew 7:6
and have a thought about the forum you are on as to the level of discussion you are likely to get on the topic you post.
there are lots of forums where you may get the discussion I think you want.
now to throw a bone to the wolves and wait for the howls- who knows maybe even one of the readers of this forum may read psalm 22 and see the real significance of the last words and God may move their heart and work another small miracle and we can have more joy in heaven.
"I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."
Luke 15:7
and it wouldn't have happened without minimalists help . ( just teasing :-) )

You'd better read Doherty's The Jesus Puzzle before you go thanking me.

Not only are you a woman, Min, but apparently you are a teenage rebel as well. Then again, since these facts have only been revealed to us by some of those among us with (shall we say) a decidedly interesting interpretation of reality, such revelations are not only to be expected, they offer a revealing insight into the accuracy of some of their other facts as well.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
