Saving_Judas

Interview With A Vampire. LOVED the book. NOBODY can compare to Anne Rice. Ever. It was so freaking un-believeable it was insane. The movie? Well... Let's just say I have never seen too big movie star names run around on TV like their heads were cut off and had never acted before in their life. I guess Anne liked the movie. I don't know. I thought it was a huge waste of money. That being said, I don't think there is a movie out there as good as the book. The Bourne movies were great, still not as great as the books though.

I don't really think he was a traitor. If anything, I think he was just human. But most everyone I meet has the same idea that he's evil and unsavable and I was just curious if it were the same everywhere. I sort of feel for the guy, to be honest. lol

So do you think he's really a betrayer, then? Could he get that title? If he did what really had to he done and it was already approved, so to speak?

Jesus would be really awkward, I would think. The worst I've heard was a girl named Dorkus. Just..brutal. Why? I don't know.

What do you think of the theory that Jesus forsaw Judas betraying him? That he knew it was going to happen but went along with it?

Eh... Stupid is kind of a strong word, isn't it? Human, maybe. lol No, I never thought of shortening it. Someone called me Jude once, but I wasn't too sure what to think of it. And I don't think I look anything like Jude Law. LOL Who was Cain? REALLY weird because my last name is Kaine. Trippy, huh? That threw me off there.

Do you think he can be forgiven for what he did? Or was it such a sin that he just can't be?

See, he wasn't a horrible person, right? Some say that Jesus even say Judas betraying him but kept him anyways. So maybe it was just something that was meant to be? After all, if Jesus didn't die for our sins, where would we be today? Would Earth be Hell?

Huh. I had a dream I was getting whipped for punishment a few days ago. In a tootally non kinky, non dominatrix sort of way. Sort of sucked.

is Judas. No, really, I mean for real. I never really understand it until a few years ago, didn't much care to get into that much. I wasn't raised in a religious family (quiet the opposite, actually). I figure my parents must have had a crooked sense of humour when they named me. Anyhow, I grew up in a small, very religious town (to the point of narrow minded bigotness... No offence) and suffered through my fair share of bible thumpers (again, no offence) and really had no idea why some little old lady who WAS going to give me a piece of candy suddenly looks oddly at me upon learning my name. Heck, I was five. I didn't know. I remember one teacher who only called me by my first name unless she absolutely had too. I was the only one she'd refer to using the last name, which in itself became quiet a joke in class. Anyhow, I got judged a lot by my name and never had it figured out until someone sat down and told me why. That Judas was the most evil (?) man on Earth, the greatest betrayer of all, and a smear on humankind. Now, I don't claim to know much of anything about religion. I'm pretty ignorant. I read one bible when I was around 9 or 10 but can't remember much of it. So what I've gathered is that Judas went to the chief priest to betray Jesus, got paid a certain amount (30 coins?) and then tried to return the money after he realised his betrayal, and then hung himself in shame. I know there's a few other way he supposedly died (headfirst in a field, etc) and that's all conflicting. There's also a few reasons said as to why he actually betrayed Jesus in the first place. But... Do you really think he's such a bad guy? Maybe it's because I've got his name but... Wasn't he just human? I mean, we all do stupid things, right? If he actually did hang himself, obviously he showed some signs of remorse. Hundreds of years later and people still hate the guy. I kind of feel sorry for him. Old people, even those polite ones, can't help but give me an odd look when I make introductions and it's sort of... I don't know...irritating, I guess, that because of what Judas was percieved to have done way back when, I get it. I'm not a bad person, I don't think. I have my issues, sure, but don't we all? Anyways, I'm mostly curious about the opinion of Judas and what your take is on his situation. Can he be forgiven? Is he still the ulitmate betrayer?

So... I'm not too great at this introduction thing. I'm Judas, going on 17, a northener of the lovely Canada (Yes, currently froze half to death), and... I don't know. I'm not really religious... I'm not sure I believe in Heaven, God, or Hell. I'd like too, but don't. I was actually browsing for something else when this website popped up, and I guess I joined because I was mostly curious about my name (which I can explain in another post in a more appropiate section) and figured I could get some insight. Anyhow, that's it. Cheers.
