Isn’t it true that in days of old, when knights were bold, and toilets weren’t invented, they left their loads in the middle of the road, and went away contented?
(as, no joke, my father used to say.)

Who could’ve imagined that in 1965, both Melody Maker and Variety were obsessed with the Beatles?

And isn’t this my favorite headline so far (Melody Maker, Jan. 16, 1965, no. 40, p. 3+)?
“Brian Epstein Predicts: I Give the Beatles 2 or 3 years more at the top”???
Isn’t it true that people STILL won’t shut up about the Fab Four?

Sorry? Don’t I like the wrinkle in the mythology that suggests that Judas was actually Christ’s most trusted apostle and colluded with him in the sacrifice by ‘betraying’ him to the Romans in order to fulfil the prophecy or vision of the crucifixion or whatever that god gave to Jesus?

He was a muppet?
Should I refer to that thread to find out?

Wasn’t I thinking more along the regular mythology (like I learned in my youth), where he’s considered to be such a heinous devil? Don’t I prefer to think of him as somebody who kinda sorta got the shit end of the stick in the whole story?
(Could it be that I’ve just watched J C Superstar a few too many times?)

Didn’t Jesus know Judas was going to betray him (in the traditional hate-version)? Didn’t the plan to save humanity through Jesus’ crucifixion require Jesus to be betrayed? Wasn’t that gods plan? God made the plan, Jesus knew but didn’t try and stop him, Judas did what he was supposed to… the real sacrifice was made by Judas, taking on the burden of hatred of all future ages, not a part of god, merely a man, isn’t that the implication even if he didn’t have Jesus’ knowing permission to betray him?
Don’t I love unpacking the deep implications of faith-based symbology, especially when it turns boring establishment mundanity on its head?

Isn’t the Bible the same story over and over: God saying “Don’t think about elephants or I’ll—HEY I said don’t think about elephants!”?
