A Shmoe Observes the Fallout from the "Gospel of Judas"

Is it just me, or all the religious-minded blogs discussing the ins and outs of "The Gospel of Judas"…don't they sound like you or your friends when you're discussing stuff that takes place in comic books?

"Well, the Judas papers, even if they're real, don't negate anything that happened in the real gospels. This doesn't change anything about the story of Jesus. My faith is intact."

"Well, the JMS issues, even if they're canon, don't negate anything that happened during the real period of Spider-Man. This doesn't change anything about Spidey. My back issues are still under my bed."

I mean…think about it.

  • Widge says:

    Yeah, which makes no sense to me, Donny.

    Q: We hate you because you killed our savior!

    A: Um, yeah, and you got eternal forgiveness for your sins out of it. You don't study your own religion much, do you?

Widge tries to go into Narnia...whoops, wrong door

This is me.

No, really.

I am a writer, poet, spoken word performer, actor, singer, improviser, content creation and idea machine, freelance iconoclast, and the internet's janitor that dispenses pop culture wisdom to the protagonist of your choice. I have seen too many movies, read too many comic books, and when the zombies finally come, I'm the one you want to call. I sure as hell won't answer the phone, but it's the thought that counts. I advise people on the net, websites and technology, because I know these things instead of having a life or sleeping.

If you like something I've done, donate to the Widge Wants to Kill His Day Job Fund. Or if you'd like to hire me for a job, my rates are terribly reasonable. We thank you.
