    There is a theory that Judas saved his teacher's life by pretending to be him
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ju…

    According to medieval copies (the earliest copies from the 15th century) of the Gospel of Barnabas it was Judas, not Jesus, who was crucified on the cross. This work states that Judas's appearance was transformed to that of Jesus', when the former, out of betrayal, led the Roman soldiers to arrest Jesus who by then was ascended to the heavens. This transformation of appearance was so identical that the masses, followers of Christ, and even the Mother of Jesus, Mary, initially thought that the one arrested and crucified was Jesus himself. The gospel then mentions that after three days since burial, Judas' body was stolen from his grave, and then the rumors spread of Jesus being risen from the dead.

    • Either way, back in those days, people had very smelly body odour. I think most modern church goes would not stomach the scent of Jesus or Judas.shapesalad
    • they were also relatively uninformed and in desperate need of something to distract from life's suffering, and hence incredibly gullible to supernatural BSmonospaced
    • also jesus never existed.zarkonite
