My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Jesus is quoting also another excerpt from the Old Testament: namely "I called you 'gods'" when the accusers attack his alleged deity.

Yes, I relate to this as well. There is something immensely attractive about the Catholic tradition, taking part in two thousand years of common human striving, philosophy, art and seeking virtue. It is, unlike contemporary forms of Christianity, genuinely a complete and compelling worldview that one could adopt and follow. But, as much as I've tried, I find it impossible to fully believe in it. Once one exits the cathedral, most of society simply doesn't care about Catholic norms. There is no implicit Christian teaching in all aspects of life that may have once existed. It's a very pretty framework, but not really equipped to tackle the modern condition.

>Christianity stopped being relevant after science outgrew it

you are on Veeky Forums son

It's a simplified answer, but essentially yes. There is much more than individual ethics required to make a religious tradition genuinely hang together, as a social category. Religion is a complex interrelation of customs and views that fundamentally determine your daily life and thinking. Today, one can be a Christian only part-time. One has to ignore the Christian worldview in economic activity, much of social interaction and even education. To me, when religion becomes a distant third choice that requires consciously picking it anew, it has already lost its discursive power. We already have to assume a liberal outlook before we can, as it were, decide that Christianity is the consumer choice that we like. This is a poor version of genuine belief and a culturally cohesive Christian narrative.

You're following nothing but lies. Fuck off, Satan.

He's quoting the Old Testament Psalms 22.

> A seed shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.
> They shall come and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done it.

>implying modernity can't be reversed

unforgiving

Read Psalm 22 you fucking morons.
