Kid-A
It's too bad that you so confirm everything they have been told about apostates. They are actually better off than you are. At least they have some scriptural impact on their lives. You don't realize that you have fallen into the 'default mode' set up in cults: once you find out the falsehoods you lose all faith. That's the weak and easy way out of responsibility...for now.

Free,
>It has been fun watching the Christians try to dance around this one.
If you had actually read any of this you would realize that the Gospel of Judas is a third century fraud. No one has to 'dance around' fiction.

> In translation they wouldn't even want to consider something like it because it is againtst their established belief system
Kinda like the many here who have so quickly and easily acquired the 'naturalist' belief system that takes more faith to believe than most religions.

>Yep like how the world is secretly in the power of invisible spirits trying to deceive us through evil plots like evolution and critical scholarship.
No secret there at all. The powers, thrones and dominions are very active. Look at the ruinous acts in the world and tell me they aren't! Christians don't object to 'critical scholarship', they refute biased scholarship amd artificial limits that some insist on....
Just like the Jesus Seminar, you entirely rule out some of the most observed and testified evidence so you can come to your own presupposed conclusions.
