Jesus' Crucifixion a parable

Jesus' life, albeit most of it was conveniently omitted from the narrative, was relatively blessed.

So some people didn't like him.  Whomsoever has never been disliked by anyone please cast the first stone.

When this man who has been thus blessed throughout his life reaches a pinnacle where he realizes he will die, he shouts out, "Why hast thou forsaken me?"

He shouted that not as a curse against anyone, but instead it was a curse against his own delusions, because wouldn't it have made more sense for a divine intervention to take place to reinforce his delusions when he was most in need of help than when he was blessedly walking around simply preaching his delusions?

The lesson is that those who hold high standards of divinity to be there when they are at their lowest often find a lack of support while continuously supporting that divinity when they are at their best.  This is not to state that they do not also succumb to cognitive dissonance in continuing support of that divinity when "prayers" aren't answered, because the religious mind will psychologically fool itself into accepting god's existence through his "mysterious plan".

Any sympathetic or empathetic person can understand that a god who allows for suffering when it is within his capability to create a world without it is not a god worth acknowledging.

 Where do you get the idea He was blessed, not from the scriptures that's for certain. God did create a perfect world, man through disobedience screwed it all up, suffering is a consequence of that disobedience.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
