This is a reference to Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34. Here are the respective King James Version translations of these verses:
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
I checked BibleGateway.com. I was curious if Chris was reading some odd translation or maybe an illustrated Bible for semi-literate people, kids, etc. Not one of the numerous English translations has "Why am I forsaken?" Here's a screenshot: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?

I wonder if this drawing gives some insight into Chris's interpretation of the text and his own belief in his godhood, and his understanding of the many misfortunes that have befallen him. Jesus, while being horribly executed, felt that he was abandoned by God, so he asked why he was forsaken by God. But Chris, from his jail cell, has simplified this into Sonichu asking "Why am I forsaken?!" as if being forsaken is just a state of being that he was born into.
