    To be fair, any garden variety conservative could be an disciple. Judas, specifically.

    They openly ignore and even violate Jesus’ words and values regularly. Just the other day someone in the senate shouted “silent prayers bring silent results” and forced everyone to pray aloud.

    I immediately thought of Matthew 6:5. If you’re going to believe in fairy tales, maybe you should read the whole book first.

      Judas, specifically.

      Strongly disagree. Judas felt shame, and hung himself. Conservatives feel no shame and would never repent.

      (Unless of course you read the other chapter of the fairy tale that says he didn’t kill himself but instead fell into a hole and exploded or something)

        He hung himself in a field he bought, his body baked in the sun, the rope broke and he was found exploded on the ground.
