This is the guy they want to use to win over "young people?" Are they completely daft? I'd rather vote for a pile of shit than a Jesus freak social regressive.
Here's hoping that his political career goes down in flames and, hopefully, a hilarious gay sex scandal.

So....anyone watched the show?

When I saw the Gnostics being brought up I was thinking "Uh oh, this is gonna be embarrassing".

And it was, sort of. I like the part at the ending where this guy says "four gospels is enough!!!111"

Dooey Jo wrote:I bet the gospel will go something like this:
Judas is Jesus' best disciple. Jesus says: "You will betray me"; Judas: "But I don't wanna!"; Jesus: "You must, I can't fucking betray myself, now can I? Now go and betray me!".
Judas goes away, muttering "fine, just don't blame me afterwards. Bloody Christ", and betrays Jesus. [there is a short comment that he immediately gave away the thirty pieces of silver for charity]
Jesus dies and Judas is sad, but everyones hates him. They say "Judas, you fucking bitch, fuck you", and Judas can't take all the bullying so he goes away and hangs himself.

But then he realises that he cannot die, and God says to him:
"Fuck you Judas, you got Jesus killed!"
Judas says: "Not you, too! And besides, he told me to do it!"
Judas seems to hear Jesus' voice in the distance: "Nuh-uh, did not! Dad, who are you going to believe, him or your own son?", and God says:
"Uhh... No he didn't! And you'd think I'd know, considering we're the same person and all..."
And Judas: "What?"
God: "Yeah, that never made much sense to me either. No matter! For your sins (and they were indeed many), I condemn you to walk the earth as an immortal!", in the background is heard: "Har har harr good one"
Judas: "Sonovabitch..."
God: "Yes. Now go away and bemoan your awful fate! Toodaloo!"
And as the holy ghost departs, Judas shakes his fist and whispers: "Damn you, Jesus! Blarg!"

And then no-one lived happily ever after and Judas became the first emo person. Thus endeth the Gospel of the Judas; the greatest disciple of the Jesus, the Christ.

The Fourth Evangelist does have Jesus say this (John 13.27) at the last supper. But it isnt something Jesus suggests to Judas; according to the Evangelist, Judas is being controlled by Satan. What he is having Jesus say is, essentially, "I know whats going to happen and who is responsible, so just get on with it already."

The same sort of prophetic foreshadowing is present in the synoptics. Though Judas is left unnamed, the author of Mark has Jesus curse his betrayer (14.21): "The Son of Man indeed goeth, as it is written of him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born." Again, there is an awareness and acceptance of his fate, but no sense that Jesus and Judas had planned it.
