Whatever is written about what anyone "believed" in the first century doesn't conceal the fact that what you do at mass is morally and ethically reprehensible. You celebrate the "human sacrifice" of Jesus, an innocent Jewish man, to a Roman trinity, throwing Jesus under the bus (What a guy!) in a vain attempt to save yourself from paying the penalty for your own sins but instead have only cursed yourself. You failed the test.

In Christian theology, God dying (the crucifixion of Jesus) is considered the ultimate love story—often described as the greatest love story ever told. It represents a supreme, sacrificial act where God becomes human and dies to pay for human sins, demonstrating intense love, atonement, and desire for reconciliation rather than punishment.

Key aspects of this love story include:

• Sacrificial Love: It is viewed as God offering his only Son to save humanity, not because humans were worthy, but despite their flaws and sins.
• Voluntary Act: Jesus’ death was a conscious, voluntary choice to fulfill God's will, not merely an act of obligation.
• The Ultimate "Good": It transforms the concept of a tragic death on Good Friday into a victory of divine love, proving that God's love is unconditional and reaches humanity in their brokenness.
• Reconciliation: The death is seen as a love letter to humanity, providing a way for reconciliation between the divine and the human.

While it is a narrative centered on death, it is interpreted as a triumphant act of love rather than a tale of tragedy.

More like one of those now out of fashion comedy farces .
Perhaps more farcical than funny .

I always think that the script writers should have expanded the part played by Judas -- he could have been a real bad boy .
Instead of having him feeling guilty and topping himself, they should have shown his real life --- buying a parcel of land in the south and setting up a successful wine producing business.

Judas was a real bad boy, what amounts to a hit man who was hoping Jesus would lead a violent revolt against the Romans until he heard all that crazy 'love your enemy talk" which convinced him that Jesus was a false prophet. He didn't need 30 pieces of silver, slave wages, he was in charge of all the money given to Jesus by those who put their faith in him.

Tons of money.

He could have just walked away with it all.

Is this part of your conspiracy theory to trick people into believing Jesus is God?

Was Judas hanging himself a conspiracy too? Did he know too much?
