Gospel of Judas
6 April 2006 by Sean
Roya just brought this to our attention. Apparently it is gathering steam in the news, and it’s being brought forward as an authentically ancient text (1,700 years old) by no less of an authority than National Geographic.
An ancient text written in Coptic purports to be the gospel according to the point of view of Judas Iscariot.
Gospel of Judas has Church worried
By IAN GALLAGHER
THE Gospel of Judas – said to be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of modern times – is about to be published amid explosive controversy, Britain’s The Mail on Sunday newspaper revealed yesterday.
Scholars have translated 26 pages of a crumbling ancient text that purports to tell the story of Jesus’s last days from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, a man reviled for almost 2000 years.
Sensationally, the manuscript portrays him not as a villain but as a hero and Christ’s favoured disciple.
It claims to repeat conversations between the two men and shows that in betraying Christ, Judas was fulfilling a divine mission.
It’s popping up all over Google News.
By the way, to our Xian fans: just because something is authentically ancient, doesn’t mean what it has to say is authentic. So there, use that when you need it in the coming days to defend what you have believed about Judas for 2,000 years. Take it as a freebie from us non-believers… We challenge ancient texts all the time. 
Judas was always the most sympathetic character in the gospels… Loved him in “Jesus Christ Superstar,” too. Glad he’s getting his fair shake.
PS: Eve just discovered National Geographic is airing a special on it this coming Sunday.
PPS: I know we cite Wikipedia here a lot (because it is expedient and covers much not covered in static texts — and is, quite frankly, usually quite good), but here’s a reminder of the fact that it’s still an open-source encyclopedia.
Wow, I should have taken a screenshot of that. Looks like somebody either wrote the article between then and now — or, more likely, they reverted to a previous draft before the entry had been vandalized. Anyway, when I looked at the Wikipedia entry for Jesus Christ Superstar just yesterday, it said something like “johnny goes poo poo.” I kid you not.

sweet! chalk one up for the xians!!!

Eve is keeping busy; I also just found out that the National Geographic Museum at Explorers Hall is opening an exhibit of actual pages from the manuscript beginning tomorrow Friday 04/07/06.

James: as usual, you make no sense at all.
6 April 2006, on 9:23 pm
I’m interested to see how the church is going to handle this.
Sean: “By the way, to our Xian fans: just because something is authentically ancient, doesn’t mean what it has to say is authentic”
You can also say: it’s the devils’ work.

James, this is one (huge) example of contradictions in christain gospel.

I personally prefer the secret gospel of Mark:

Joao: Thank you for the link.
Now if only the xian sects in possession of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem would give archaeologists permission to excavate it…

Didn’t Jesus NEED to be betrayed (and subsequently)crucified? Otherwise the whole ‘dying for our sins’ bit would not have happened. Sounds like Judas did all the xians a favour – without him, our sins could not be washed away in the blood of jeebus (how does blood wash things clean, exactly?)
Personally, I think jesus was a con guy who knew the value of spectacle and parlour tricks, got some poor sap to die on the cross, and re-appeared 3 days later – ‘I rose from the dead, now worship me bitch!’
6 April 2006, on 11:41 pm
teakel: That’s hilarious.
But yes, if you stayed within the confines of the myth itself, the insane hypocrisy has always been there. Jesus was supposed to die for our sins, Judas was the chosen vehicle, Judas was damned for all eternity for doing something he was destined to do –which was, after all, to lead to the salvation of all humankind.
Fuck. Talk about a bum rap!
6 April 2006, on 11:44 pm
This whole Jeebus, blood, dying…rising from the dead like a vampire talk is going to give me nightmares! It’s like a horror movie. My niece covers her kids eyes and makes them leave the room at family gatherings if something like James Bond is on television…and then they go to church and hear all about how father Gawd created a son…and that son made people drink his blood…and then he was tortured and thorns shoved into his head…and he was whipped mercilessly and nailed up on a cross to die an agonizing death gory stuff! I could never understand how that was acceptable to pass along to children, but James Bond and Batman/Spiderman etc isn’t.
7 April 2006, on 12:13 am
But, Star… Spider-Man is the devil! Look at those eyes! And Batman has horns!
7 April 2006, on 3:17 am
I bet those manuscripts are created by the vatican to distract us from the fact that Jesus never existed. They know it but don´t want us to know!
7 April 2006, on 7:54 am
Yet another thing that I heard about briefly on NPR while cooking dinner last night but forgot to look into. Thanks for the reminder. It’ll be interesting to see how this one plays out…
7 April 2006, on 6:16 pm
The whole Jesus dying for our sins is silly you say?
Let me guess,you think there is no clear cut thing called sin and you believe that there is only good and evil. Explain this to me.. I am not clear of what your views are and I would like to see what you feel about lying and stealing and murder and adultery and heaven and hell. Do you really beleive that we are all just here to live and die? Do you beleive in a world where if you eat or drink the wrong thing you may suffer the consequences and/or die. or if you live in the wrong part of the world with the wrong religion you may die, or if you smoke you may die… if so you are correct there are consequences to how we all live our lives. if you believe that however how is it that you don’t believe that there is not gonna be a consequence of sin and evil actions done in this life? Once you mess up is a simple I’m sorry enough to get you into heaven? How do you answer the question what happens when you die? How do you respond when someone you love is dying of cancer? Do you feel helpless? Because I have never seen anyone with education and degrees and smarts teach a person back to health. I have seen blinded eyes seeing again, people miraculously healed of HIV and cancer and kidney failure and crack fiends delivered from crack all in the name of Jesus. I’ve seen people with broken hearts healed and empowered to love again. I don’t have much research but the Love of God is so very real don’t leave this earth without witnessing it for yourself. You have done so much research on what God is not I dare you to read his word and his promises and ask him to show you how real he is. I DARE YOU. Skepticism is not gonna change the fact that you have a defienciency in the love department. No one else tries to go around proving that something is a lie unless they have been hurt by it. God’s people are not perfect but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t. If christians have hurt you, let that go. If I get offended by the waitress at a restaraunt I am not gonna stop eating food, I’m just gonna switch my restaurant. you feel me. If the cook did not cook good food I don’t go back there, it doesn’t mean that food isnt good it just means the cook did not know what he was doing? I have seen too much to not know for a fact that Jesus is so real!!!!! and he is definitely looking for you cause you need love. You have a purpose and picking a fight with religion ain’t it!!!!! You were destined for greater purposes than this. Your influence is supposed to be to help people. How are you helping people when you are leading them to a dead end. If you lead them to trust science then when they are sick all science will do is study your body to see what happened after you are gone. if you lead them to knowledge one day they are gonna realize they still don’t understand anything but if you simply say i don’t know about this god thing God will show you something. You can’t possibly think you know everything? Dont talk yourself into a corner and leave God out “if He is real” Then you have pissed off the creator of the universe and who will fend for you then? science? come on think smart… keep on studying just change your focus you may be surprised. real investigators take an unbiased view until all the facts are in.. this is not just an argument this is your eternal life we are talking bout…THINK ABOUT IT
7 April 2006, on 7:42 pm
revelation blessed:
I’m going to snip your babbling to get to the point.
there is no clear cut thing called sin [snip] and heaven and hell
I’ve said it a hundred times – if the only reason you don’t murder and steal is because big Jeebus told you not to, do me a favor: HOLD ONTO THAT BELIEF FOR DEAR LIFE! Never forget your sky god/gods, ever! To answer your question, there is no heaven or hell. I don’t believe in things for absolutely no reason. I like evidence.
Do you really beleive that we are all just here to live and [snip] Do you feel helpless?
Ah, another pompous theist. No, we’re not “here” for a special purpose – you are insignificant and so am I when compared to the rest of the cosmos. Quit making things up to feel better about yourself; when you realize this your belief in magic invisible creators goes away quickly. And another thing – drop the whole “I’m gonna be religious cuz it’s better to be wrong” thing. We’ve debunked Pascal’s dumbass Wager a million times and are fucking sick of it. By that logic, you are required to believe Gorlock the Mighty sent his assasin Throm to kill everyone who doesn’t kiss Gorlock’s ass as well – hey, it’s better to be right, no?
Because I have never seen anyone with education and degrees and smarts teach a person back to health. I have seen blinded eyes seeing again, people miraculously healed of HIV and cancer and kidney failure and crack fiends delivered from crack all in the name of Jesus.
That…is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard. Ok, you can go to Pastor Hank and the God Squad when you have cancer. Fuck it, try a homeopath while you’re at it. I prefer my doctor to have an M.D.
And you’ve not seen people cured because of Jeebus. You may have seen people fooled into thinking they were well, or perhaps actually healed by real medicine – but in the end you attribute it to your sky gods. If Jeebus can come back from the dead and make someone’s cancer go away, please, please provide some evidence. I know someone who will give you a million dollars for proof. That’ll feed a ton of orphans, wouldn’t it you righteous dipshit?
You have done so much research on what God is not I dare you to read his word and his promises and ask him to show you how real he is. I DARE YOU. Skepticism is not [snip] the cook did not know what he was doing?
This is what you assholes don’t understand – we’re not making a claim; you are. You prove your horseshit to me. Before you get all jumpy and tell me that saying there is no god is a claim, read this:
CLAIM There is a magic man in the sky who made everything from nothing.
NOT A CLAIM There is no proof there is a magic man in the sky who made everything from nothing; therefore I ignore all claims to the contrary and not believe in he/she/it until I have evidence.
How are you helping people when you are leading them to a dead end
Oh no, sweet dipshit – we are leading them to a world with no boundaries set by your magic.
If you lead them to trust science then when they are sick all science will do is study your body to see what happened after you are gone.
Yes, that’s exactly how medicine/science works. Thanks for clearing that up.
Then you have pissed off the creator of the universe and who will fend for you then? science?
My science will open up a can of whoop-ass on your god.
this is not just an argument this is your eternal life we are talking bout…THINK ABOUT IT
Again, would you sell all your posessions and follow Rockstar Ryan just because I said you’d have eternal life? It’s better to be wrong – this is your eternal life we are talking bout…THINK ABOUT IT
P.S – just email me your bank account info so I can start on the eternal life thing. PRAISE ROCKSTAR!
7 April 2006, on 8:05 pm
My science will open up a can of whoop-ass on your god.
Hahahaha!
Ryan, only you could turn the phrase “sweet dipshit.”
I wrote a little tribute this morning to your earlier “Play With Our Regulars.” Well, it was actually a tribute to Lya (see the post above mine), but you inspired me.
By the way, wasn’t there supposed to be a second part of that play you wrote?
7 April 2006, on 8:23 pm
*sigh* Good try, Ryan.
But since revelation proved in its rant that it hasn’t read ANYTHING on this site, I call “DRIVE-BY.” It probably won’t even be back.
That said, like I mentioned on another thread, it’s great having those of you who are more “up” on the science thing; I personally have difficulty understanding the finer points of evolution, but when someone actually thinks their youth pastor is better suited to “lead” me in these areas than the scientists themselves – well. Let’s leave it at that.

Obviously god thinks paragraphs and grammer are sins.
8 April 2006, on 10:39 pm
Rockstar Ryan, your crass and vulgar handling of Revelation Blessed is a reflection of your insecurity in this belief (or unbelief) system that you call ‘atheism.’ Non-intellectuals often resort to name-calling and profanity when they lack knowledge. For someone who claims to disbelieve in God, your ardent protest of His non-existence is somewhat of a testimony that something or Someone out there has really struck a nerve with you. Could it be the guilt nerve? If you truly did not think there was something to all of this ‘god’ thing, then perhaps you wouldn’t be so passionately inclined to waste your thoughts on this blog. If I were an atheist I don’t think I’d waste my time trying to convince myself and others of how strongly I believed that. Life is way too short when you knock off eternity. There are too many commandments to break – too much hell to raise – why bother making small talk with ‘dipshits’ on blogs sites like this. But on the other hand – if God is for suckers, I’ll have a whole bag full of the giant Charms blow pops with the gum in the middle. ‘Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.’

Frank, your preachy and ignorant handling of Rockstar Ryan is a reflection of your insecurity in this belief (or unbelief) system that you call ‘christianity.’ Non-intellectuals often resort to scripture-quoting and smugness when they lack knowledge. For someone who claims to believe in God, your ardent protest of His existence is somewhat of a testimony that something or Someone out there has really struck a nerve with you. Could it be the stupidity nerve? If you truly did think there was something to all of this ‘god’ thing, then perhaps you wouldn’t be so passionately inclined to waste your thoughts on this blog. If I were an christian I don’t think I’d waste my time trying to convince myself and others of how strongly I believed that. Life is way too short when you realize there’s no such thing as eternal life. There are too many commandments to sheepishly follow – too much hell to live in constant fear of – why bother making small talk with people smarter than yourself on blogs sites like this. But on the other hand – if I could get over my childish sky-daddy dependence, I’ll have a whole bag full of the giant Charms blow pops with the gum in the middle. ‘Ignorant are those who have not seen and yet believe.’

“Rockstar Ryan, your crass and vulgar handling of Revelation Blessed is a reflection of your insecurity in this belief (or unbelief) system that you call ‘atheism.’”
Actually, it’s the complete and utter disdain your retarded religion deserves.
“Non-intellectuals often resort to name-calling and profanity when they lack knowledge. “
Well, that explains the behavior of the theists we get here.
“If I were an atheist I don’t think I’d waste my time trying to convince myself and others of how strongly I believed that.“
Says the fucking moron who comes to an ATHEIST site to preach. Dipshit, we’d never talk about you if you’d keep your fairy tales to yourself.

10 April 2006, on 7:00 pm
That can’t be the real Frank; the one who’s pretty smart but reveals his idiocy in his faith of Intelligent Design Creationism, so I’ll call you…Sniffles.
Sniffles:
Non-intellectuals often resort to name-calling and profanity when they lack knowledge.
Yes, it’s called an Ad Hominem Attack and is a fallacy of logic. But if I attack your arguments and then call you, say, a complete douchesicle, then the name-calling is simply and effective semantic device in written language to express my disgust of your lack of logic.
For someone who claims to disbelieve in God, your ardent protest of His non-existence is somewhat of a testimony that something [blah blah blah]
Please provide evidence that I don’t believe in God. For the last time, here is the stance of EVERY BLOGGER ON THIS SITE:
We believe there is no god/gods. There is no god to disbelieve in.
See Sniffles, it’s like this:
Pretend I was standing in line next to you at the junior high school that you are currently attending. Then I started screaming “Look at that man in the corner!”
Now, you don’t see anything in the corner, much less a man, therefore you ignore the shit out of my silly statement.
That’s our position on your god/gods, but the roles are reversed and the location is the internets and the Whitehouse. Make sense? I can use smaller words if need be.
P.S – King Retard:
That is my favorite rhetorical device to use when someone says something utterly vaccuous. Just change a few words and it pertains to them. Chances are Sniffles won’t get it, though…

11 April 2006, on 9:43 pm
Ladies and gentlemen I am not religous. In no way, shape, form or fassion do I claim to be a saint. However, through all the comments I have so closely read I have yet to see any disproving evidence that their ISN’T a God. I just said and I quote “I am not religous”. Let me explain. I believe in the bible from cover to cover. I do not believe in anyones interpretations but my own. After all, thats what a religion is, an interpretation. You may interpret it as a good fiction, or not. What ever the case may be your lives are affected daily by its teachings. Where do you think your laws come from? You may steal with out a concience but you would be punished still the same. For a second lets just say their is no God. Would it comfort you to know that you are alone? If one man learns the bible why does it upset you? These teachings speak of love and harmony of life. To believe in somthing greater than yourself. In those teachings it tells us as Christians to spread the word. Which is why I’m posting. Now lets talk about science. It is a scientific fact that energy can not be created or destroyed. My question to you is “where do YOU go”? You know what I believe. What do you believe? Either way you base it on faith. All you know is that you decompose and turn into skeletons and that my friend is not a pleasent non-fiction. If you believe in science lets take a look at the Webster’s dictionary for the definition of “theory”. Theory-an explanation or system of anything; ideas and abstract principles of a science or art; SPECULATION; a hypothesis. In other words by webster’s definition “I haven’t a clue I’m just going to make it up as I go a long.” I don’t believe I have ever seen a theory turn to fact. I urge you to correct me if I’m wrong. Specially the big bang THEORY! If the above threatens your beliefs, question where they come from. The answer would be man. I’m not one to say that science isn’t useful. A lot of science/medicine is true and will save you momentarily but don’t buy into the theories, the unexplained. Do your own investigating. Just 600 years ago we believed that the world was flat and that the universe revolved around the earth. People took this as fact because no one was brave enough to challange it. I challenge you. Take the initiative not the man’s next to you. I do believe in God and his son Jesus. I hope you don’t think less of me for that. It takes courage to believe in the Bible. I sincerly hope this makes you think.
P.S Their is nothing you can say that will penitrate this thick skin of mine.
11 April 2006, on 10:07 pm
Oh, no. Not another one.
Did we say we could disprove the existence of gawd? Are we even trying to? You must not understand what atheism/agnosticism are at all. Go do some research. We clearly know a hell of a lot about you than you do about us. Do us the damn courtesy to learn about us before you come into our home with your ignorance. You’d do that if you were visiting a foreign country for the first time, wouldn’t you? Do it for us. Here’s a clue to get you started: atheism is not a belief.
Ladies and gentlemen I am not religous…
Yes you are.
[Expurgated bullshit follows]
I do believe in God and his son Jesus. I hope you don’t think less of me for that. It takes courage to believe in the Bible.
See, told you so. You’re religious.
Nothing new under the sun here for us, Nick. If you really have been reading the site closely, you would know that. But you haven’t. Nobody who comes here spouting the same drivel you just did really seems to want to learn.
But please… especially don’t ask us to do your homework for you. It’s insulting. Most of us are the types who did that back in elementary school for people like you. We’ve grown up since then.
Your “challenge” is like a slap in the face with a wet noodle from the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
11 April 2006, on 11:07 pm
Sean,
It is actually “coined the phrase” not “turned the phrase”. Also, it seems to me that you haven’t grown up since elementary school since you are still calling names and swearing constantly. It’s like you can’t come up with something with more impact, so you swear. Here is my challenge to you, don’t swear at any posters for a week. Think you can handle that? Just because you are devoid of religion and faith, doesn’t mean the same has to apply to your manners.
12 April 2006, on 4:50 pm
Nick: I believe in the bible from cover to cover.
Which bible (i.e., version; e.g., King James, etc.)? And what about the lost (now found) Gospel of Judas?
12 April 2006, on 4:53 pm
And the 30-plus gospels that existed in the 1st and 2nd Centuries?
12 April 2006, on 5:07 pm
Don’t forget the part that I wrote when “working out a problem” in the bathroom last week.

12 April 2006, on 6:06 pm
It amazes me that you can’t debate my beliefs on an intellectual level. Instead you pick apart my “drivel” and threaten me with spaghetti noodles. It astounds me that I didn’t even have to retreat to my bible for your comments. Instead I broke out the ole Webster. Here is a noodle that you may chew on for the day. Your quote:
“Here’s a clue to get you started: atheism is not a belief.”
According to the Webster’s dictionary: Atheism – BELIEF in the nonexistence of God.
SO YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING!!! Perhaps the flying spaghetti monster. Who knows? Here is another one of your quotes.
“You must not understand what atheism/agnosticism are at all. Go do some research.”
My research has led me to this conclusion: Agnosticism – One who BELIEVES that knowledge of God is impossible; pertaining to the agnostics or their teachings; expressing IGNORANCE.
Again that was the Webster’s Dictionary. Really I’m not upset at your comments. All joking aside, I truly and deeply feel for you. You create a website that slanders the ones who believe in something and revolt to the one’s who challenge you. Really you have to expect people to challenge you as they do me. Did you know in Iran we would both be executed for our beliefs? Christian and Atheist side by side. They detest you as they do me. I would feel compassion for my fellow Christian. Would you feel the same for your Atheist? By debating me in your belief that their is no God you will have become a better Atheist, and I will have become a better Christian. Either way we both win. Honestly? I am intrigued by the reasons you believe the way you do. You obviously have some explanation how the bible came to be. I want to know your resources, your explanations, and your influences. I would not waste my time by reposting if I thought you were not worth it.
P.S. I lived in a foreign country for six years.
12 April 2006, on 6:29 pm
Nick,
the Webster’s dictionary
You use a Webster’s? You colossal idiot.
Did you know in Iran we would both be executed for our beliefs?
I’d ask them to kill you first so I could have a good chuckle before you died.
I want to know your resources, your explanations, and your influences.
And where did you find a mission statement that said this was meant to be an educational website? Silly person- we have fun here. Go poop on someone else’s blog.

Eve,
That would be the King James version. In regards to the Lost Gospel of Judas. I don’t know. Revalations tells me to beware of false prophets. Who’s to say one couldn’t appear after 1800 years in the form of an ancient text. I can’t place my belief in something I know little about. I will however give it a fare shot when I can read the translated text. I havn’t heard of a 30 plus Gospel’s in the 1rst or 2nd century. Care to explain?

Why are you so hateful? Do you feel threatened? Usually people who retaliate in that manner feels inadequate and threatened. Take a deep breath….Feel better now? I can’t believe that you would laugh at someone else’s demise. You have so much rage. What’s wrong with Random House Webster’s Dictionary? Which one do you think we should use, http://www.atheistdictionary.com/ ? You really should lighten up a bit.

Nick: you are going to ignore ancient text that may be closer to a primary source because a saying in a possibly more recent text says “beware of false prophets”? This is proof that no amount of science or scholarship will ever sway those who believe things “just because.”
See Eve’s posting on how the King James Bible is perhaps the most unreliable one we have:

I do not put up with people who call me names, especially “ignorant and bitch”, those have to be the worst. I was never hateful until you called me a name, shame on me for losing my temper.
So, Marcus, tell me what makes you think that I am ignorant. Because I told you to be nice? Who said I was a Christian? I never said one way or the other what I believed. I do, however, believe that you should be nice.
