You see these YouTube ads…”So Peter says:” “Does anybody here…uh…have any…uh…survival skills?”<br>I’m convinced the advertising staff do that on purpose.<br><br>Great show guys, I’ve gotten very into these. I’ve always found it interesting that Christianity (my religion) tells us that God always has a plan, the crucifixion was part of that plan, Judas was fulfilling his part in God’s plan, and Judas winds up burning in Hell as a result. That’s never squared with the theory that “God is Good” for me.

I appreciate these new insights on a character I'd given very little thought until now - he just seemed one step up from a bogeyman.

There’s nothing business like about suicide.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfffp5B-ppU&t=1440">24:00</a> in many Mohammadian traditions, Suicide is still to this day considered a Sin against Allah. I remember as a child in Iran, such deceased were frowned up and many people refused to go to their funerals. Thank you for this and other episodes, especially the episode on Xerxes the Great. 😍

Without Judas there would not be a crucifixion. Jesus must have trusted him very much to ask him to betray him.
