Good for you.
I hear pagans have more fun.
we don't ask for 10%, don't tell anyone how to live, or cut anyone's head off.

I wasn’t very popular with the youth minister for this and several other reasons.
The very name Judas is synonymous with betrayal.
But if you believe the events of the Bible, here's a dude who was one of the chosen 12 who gave up everything to follow Jesus. They were a brotherhood. And then this event transpired that had to happen for the salvation of the Earth. In fact, Jesus asked that the cup be taken away, and God said no. That ish was going down.
So in comes Judas. Dude has to betray his friend and teacher because God is making it happen. So this pawn gets carried along in the tides of prophesy despite clearly not wanting to. And it damages him so much he kills himself and donates the money.
And somehow HE'S the bad guy. Dude is the definition of a hero. Sacrifices his own desires for the greater good.
(apparently there some apocrypha that suggest he was a good dude.)
And I did a search to make sure this topic hasn't been covered, but there was so much Judas priest to sift through I gave up, so sorry if repost.
I remember asking this question in middle school youth group and challenging the youth minister on the ridiculous assertion that Judas was in hell because of the “sin” of suicide and no longer being alive to “repent” from said “sin”.

Yeah that one always got me too. There are so many to pick from.Mine was the idea that someone could live a wretched life of sin but be forgiven in one's death bed if one repented, but someone who lived a righteous and virtuous life who didn't believe will not be forgiven of his lack of belief.

The bible...best fairy tale every written.
i was taught god is both omniscient and omnipotentApparently there are people here who dont know the difference between omnipotence and all-controlling
Knowing something is going to happen is not the same as making it happen
