the bible evokes the physical nature of sin by talking about evil people literally being full of pus, like Judas falls down and his guts pour out all grossly

    The Acts of the Apostles depicts a more dramatic ending for Judas, claiming that he used the 30 pieces of silver to buy a field, where he gruesomely died. "With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out.

    Huh, I never actually read the story in its entirety. 30 pieces of silver always seemed like a super trivial amount, like he sold out Jesus for $250. If it's enough to buy land, I'd betray Jesus for that. Land is expensive and it'd be nice to have a little homestead where I can foster dogs.

        If my friend was the literal son of god and he wouldn't help me get a little field, much less make my rent cheaper after 2000 years of Christian society, he's a shit friend. That's having a billionaire's son for a friend and he won't contribute to the gofundme for your dog's surgery. I wouldn't necessarily sell him to the cops, but I would absolutely kidnap him and either sell him to the highest bidder or exploit his magical powers for profit.

          Jesus was literally feeding the hungry and Judas carried all their money which he was stealing from.

          Also God made all the fields it's the cops who won't let you have one not God and again it's the cops who won't let you stay where you live without paying rent
