Lady Gaga has a new song and music video out called "Judas" where she sings about how Judas betrayed her but she is still in love with him.
As you could guess, churches are in a fit about Gaga using Judas as the example. Did she go too far with the music video/song? (You can just google it, dont feel like linking to it)
I think it's ok because she's using it as a simile, she isnt saying she loves Judas, the biblical figure.
What do you think?

They should calm their tits. Lady Gaga has her own way to spread messages. They should just deal with it. *puts on her sunglasses*

People need to stop being so up in arms about their religion. If they can mock and degrade every other religion/choice, we can give them some hits. This isn't even that bad.

the word "judas" has, over the years, come to mean a betrayer, backstabber, etc...HOW COULD THE CATHOLICS BE OFFENDED BY GAGA IF THEY CREATED THE TERM IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?
(yes. i know judas was a person.)

How you got to be a moderator is still beyond my knowledge... Enough people voted for him. (why? dunno.)HOW COME YOU DIDN'T BECOME A MOD?!? Not enough people voted for him. Simple math. Actually, why don't you make a thread on why you dislike him or something? I'm getting tired of him being flamed every single time he makes a post. kthx.

At first the song kinda of 'upset' me because Lady Gaga is like, my hero, and I do actually go to a Southern Baptist church. But after I listened to it a few times, I liked it. The way I take it is 1. She was betrayed by a guy but she keeps forgiving him, just like Jesus forgives all of us of our sins. 2. "Jesus is my virtue, but Judas is the demon I cling to" In a religious sense, this could mean that Gaga wants to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, but is clinging to her sin. You know, or she could worship Satan. ._. But not matter what the song is about, Lady Gaga is still an amazing artist. She's really one of my idols and I will support her no matter what. Unless she like, kills someone.

Because she's using Judas as an allusion for someone else who, in her life, backstabbed her, but she still loves them?

I love it. I think in this day and age, religious people need to get over it, and move on with their lives. This isn't even a big deal. It's a great song...

I'm not religious or at all biblical, but didn't Jesus still love Judas just the same as he loves everyone in the bible?

This just demonstrates how those churches have a total lack of self-distance and it further shows how fanatic they are.
Also, I think the Judas parable is a genius move; everyone will get what she means.
So no, she didn't go too far. Those churches needs to take that stick out of their asses.
