Gospel of Judas

[Infinite Ego]

Ever seen this?



I show it in my religion course. It typically blows minds and they go home and when their parents ask what they're learning they reply: how Jesus committed suicide! <explode> ;D

There's a fun Borges short story where a theologian comes to the conclusion that Judas was actually the Messiah. Worth a read, like all of Borges' stories.

Sitting on a pile of Borges right now

If Jesus is God and God is Omniscient then of course Jesus committed suicide, how could anything else be true?

Very interesting, and a fair example about how religion gets manipulated.....

That documentary does a good job of showing how the church flushes stuff that stands in the way of its totalitarian domination
