1700 year old Judas gospel revealed, will be on display in DC on Friday

I'm sorry, but this is pretty cool. The thing says that Judas turned in Christ because Christ asked him to. And pages of the document are going to be on display at the National Geographic building in DC starting on Friday (conveniently about a mile from my apartment, woo woo!)

Very cool, just from an archaeological perspective alone.

Ok, and let me just say something from a Biblical perspective. If this document is real, and if it is correct, then that means pretty much every branch of Christianity got it wrong calling Judas a traitor. Which, as far as I'm concerned, means this calls into question everything they preach, including their anti-gay teachings.

If they could get something THIS central to Christianity wrong - I mean, Judas is pretty big - then something else could be wrong too. That's not a reason to say religion is all a bunch of hooey, but it is reason to say that certain branches of Christianity, and every religion really, could use a dose of humility when attempting to jam their interpretation of God's will down our throats.

Let them claim they're infallible. Then let them talk to Galileo.
