I never understood the Christians who hate the Jews "for killing Jesus." My understanding is their whole faith is built upon the foundation that Jesus had to be tortured and die to forgive all the sins in the world. And that he knew he was going to die for those sins. In the same vein, why are they all mad at Judas, who Jesus obviously knew he would do what he did and sent him to to it, because it had to happen.

If Jesus was still alive and kickin 2000 years later Christianity and the whole world would be a completely different thing. By their own theology none of their sins would be forgiven.

Ever since I was a little kid growing up in a church, none of this shit ever made a lick of sense. Every time I asked about it I was given an explanation that made even less sense, or "you just gotta have faith."

Funny enough, if I remember my Catholic grandmother correctly, Judas's real sin according to the Catholic Church was that he hanged himself, since suicide is a sin. The betrayal was no big deal in comparison, since it was all Part Of The Plan.

I think I recall that as well.

There is also "the gospel of Judas" rediscovered in the 1970s where if I remember right, Judas explains how Jesus told him to do it.
