The Gospel of Judas

Scholars have recently finished translating the Gospel of Judas, which, as you can imagine, contains a few interesting differences from the other known gospels. It's hard to sum up my feelings on this grave matter, but...

Squee!

Yeah, I read about that in two different newspapers. The first thing that came to mind was, "Oh God, I can hear the Christian fundamentalists screaming. SCREAMING."

The second thing I thought of was, "Hey. That's cool. It's always nice to see new light being shed on religion."

...The third thing I thought of, however, was all the Jesus x Judas slash fics on FFNet.

Actually, the Christian leaders are just shrugging and going "It's heresy." The news articles are funny.

"So, what do you think of the Gospel of Judas?"

"It's heresy and so irrelevant."

"Do you intend to read-"

"It's heresy."

"And about what it says about-"

"It's heresy."

"But what-"

"Heresy."

"...okay, I'll go back to interviewing the scholars now."
