Mock on, mock on, 'tis all in vain

ON THE CONTRARY, the attestation of the Gospels to difficult, troubling things like Jesus's dying lament that his Father had forsaken him MAKES ME MORE CONFIDENT IN THE HONESTY OF WHAT THEY CLAIM.   It would be far easier to leave such things out, if someone was interested in making up the story they would have made it less instead of more difficult.  That I don't understand what it means doesn't change that, if it were easy to understand it wouldn't have that value for me.
