so, i watched the encore presentation of the GOSPEL OF JUDAS last night on the national geographic channel...it was really interesting and thought provoking, ya-da ya-da, ya-da...but one thing i definitely was surprised to learn, although i don't know why i'd never noticed it before: i don't know anyone, anything, anyplace named Judas. to quote some expert from the show last night "people don't even name their dogs that...in Germany, its actually illegal to name a child Judas"
seems that for the last 2000 years, humanity has been really sticking it to this poor guy. we've systematically condemned him, shunned him and only regarded him until recently as the ultimate villain...a traitor, not just to god, but to all mankind.
...geez, you would've thought that judas had gone on oprah and jumped up and down on her couch while making a complete ass out of himself on national television to deserve the kind of hatred we've held for him all of these years.
now Judas' name can finally be cleared as we learn that according to the Gospel of Judas, he was just hookin' a brother up. maybe little Hans Guttenberglaughenhouser in Germany can change his name to Judas Guttenberglaughenhouser...and maybe, just maybe instead of visitng St. Thomas' or St. Bart's this summer, families will be heading to sunny St. Judas' for some good clean fun. wouldnt it be great if gwyneth gave newborn baby Moses a little bro' named judas? ...now that would be so unpretty :)
