The Perspective of Judas Iscariot: A Revolutionary in The Cause of Sanity
--
How did I find myself involved in this movement? I am living in a palpable nightmare that no one else perceives. That is the core of his existence — how he presents it: “saving humanity from itself.”
Desperate people fail to comprehend that if he didn’t condemn humanity, there would be no need for salvation, only true love and acceptance. His followers remain oblivious, influenced by the attractive rhetoric that distorts the definition of love with the definition of fear and submission.
People search high and low for answers to their fears and insecurities, but they tend to circumnavigate around critical thinking and skepticism. the desperate search for answers and protection from their fears and insecurities. He claims the being in the fiery pit is the most cunning of all entities.
If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean he understands his opponent’s deceptions and uses them to lure people, just as he accuses the other being of doing? He says he is a fisher of men. What type of fisher is the other being? It certainly isn’t men. Perhaps he is the truth, but not the way.
Now it’s a matter of choosing between two liars, but when the boogeyman isn’t around to scare people out of their wits, here comes the high and mighty himself to flesh out a narrative that compels people to praise his magic tricks in exchange for “protection” against this invisible enemy.
The irony of it all is that his father is the enemy. He fools them into thinking love must come with a violent sacrifice. It’s a toxicity that grows like a virus and spreads infecting all in its path, devouring the sheep as the shepherd hides in plain sight among the community, showing them what love is — toxic and violent in the guise of love.
He is a nonconformist and a rebel with a cause, not a good one, yet still a cause. People grow weaker and more susceptible as he pretends that he is a commoner like them.
But then, he also claims he is a messiah and the son of God. In front of his hopeless, delusional followers, he is a humble character.
However, in the times he spends behind closed doors, he disrobes and bathes in the presence of the twelve of us, and drinks wine by the gallon until inebriation overtakes his consciousness. He reasons he is the only one who speaks with his father, God, under these conditions. He also demands that those closest to him scavenge natural herbs, flowers, and fruits.
He conjures up his best work after his daily bath, drunkenness, and a concoction of the scavenge — what the other eleven don’t know is that his wine is pure ethanol mixed with fermented fruits and weird herbs that messed with our minds.
Telling that kind of information to others in what the messiah tells us is our inner circle, isn’t the best option. I mean, there isn’t anything the other eleven men wouldn’t do for this man, who takes care of us, the most vulnerable and impressionable due to stipulations he knows to manipulate, just as his counterpart, the ‘man in the pit of flames’.
Except no one sees this invisible spirit but him.
And if that evil spirit truly exists, he is doing a poor job of manipulating people to do evil things. Not everyone will agree with his philosophy as it challenges the practices and prophesies of their religious traditions. Word spreads easily through the city, and it isn’t long before they capture the messiah.
The other eleven are willing to die for him and for what he says is the truth that he claims is the word of God. And that he is God himself but in human form. All the while, the pot of tradition, and hatred stirs among the elite, and politicians now issue a price on his head. Upon hearing about the contract on his life, he wept to his mother.
Then, he announces to us during a ‘great supper’ that he will sacrifice himself because his father, God, wants him to save mankind. But then he says something interesting. He says that one of us will betray him with a kiss.
That’s easy enough. He didn’t know who would give him a kiss of betrayal because he didn’t know which one of us it would be. He is smart enough to use simple deduction that it is one of us in his inner circle who lost faith.
However, if it weren’t for my kiss, humanity wouldn’t have been saved…according to him.
