the next time you get called a judas for betraying someone

point to the latest episode in the life of Christ:

Everybody fronts the surfacing of the only known copy of what's called the Gospel of Judas; the 1,700-year-old text asserts that Jesus told Judas to sell him out. "You can see how early Christians could say, if Jesus's death was all part of God's plan, then Judas's betrayal was part of God's plan," said one academic. "So what does that make Judas? Is he the betrayer, or the facilitator of salvation, the guy who makes the crucifixion possible?"
