a wonderful and thought provoking song, with a great melody, arrangement and some fine singing. very few songs as intriguing as this.

Greg Kleven

If there is a god he owes the world an apology. Stand up for Judas.

Sean Doherty

Judas loved Jesus. He did see him a the Saviore. He was the best desippel of them all.

Good song and well sung using mythical figures to make a fine point on slavery - that more often than not the chains are in the mind...

Keith Parker

A truly ridiculous song. And typical of the naive zealotry found in Irish fervour. It is a typically Marxist misrepresentation and distortion of Christ's teachings, springing from a superficial and inadequate reading of the Gospels. The last verse is particularly risible. Christians have behaved badly in spite of Christ's teachings and not because of them. Absurd and infantile communist nonsense.

Kevin Brown

Brilliant - not only by Dick in this version but also by Roy Bailey (with or without Leon R.). But Dick's version has a special Scottish meaning - for all the conservatives and anti-socialists.As a Scottish Episcopalian, in the radical tradition, we understand the revolutionary impulse that Jesus' (alleged) words sometimes misrepresented.

The best version of Leon Rosselson's song, in my opinion.

I could never get past the bit in Romans where it says "slaves, obey your masters". There have been great christian rebels, the Daniel Berrigan's of the world, but most churches only want people to take up arms when it's a case of sending them off to war.

Amusingly, in my homeland the word can be used as a verb, adjective, noun and adverb.

MarvellousMuffin

The Irish and British interpretation of that word can be applied to both men and women. I can only assume Broadcstyrself follows it.

Jesus was a rather revolutionary figure. the problem is that people have often manipuated his messege in order to control people. It's about changing the human heart to be the way people were originaly intended to be: working together in common for everyone's benefit, not conquest and murder. If you change the human heart, tyranny will no longer be tolerated.

Ah sure he was a TV Presenter that turned into whatever you want, don't knock the idiots, let them live their lives according to their believes. Just don't ever bring it to me, if you do you get a box. I am a Roman Catholic and i will never let anyone know, unless you ask me. Please live your life as best you can, i am, i think....no time for prejudice, no time for hate, no time for church, just getting by and saying hi.

Patricia Jackson

This song addresses the wrong use of religion altogether. He addresses the manipulation of truth. It doesn't really have anything to do with historical facts. For example, the concept of "Oneness" in contemporary philosophy is used similarly. Power is very interested in controlling religious/spiritual belief. If we just allowed power to walk all over us, we wouldn't have the 8 hour workday for example. Real spirituality/truth is innate in each of us. We know what it is inside.

None of these people are real...but they make a potent song

The book of Judas was never added to the bible......??????? Wonder what it said that contradicted those pedophile controlling cunts in the Vatican.
