To be fair, any garden variety conservative could be an disciple. Judas, specifically.
They openly ignore and even violate Jesus’ words and values regularly. Just the other day someone in the senate shouted “silent prayers bring silent results” and forced everyone to pray aloud.
I immediately thought of Matthew 6:5. If you’re going to believe in fairy tales, maybe you should read the whole book first.
Strongly disagree. Judas felt shame, and hung himself. Conservatives feel no shame and would never repent.
(Unless of course you read the other chapter of the fairy tale that says he didn’t kill himself but instead fell into a hole and exploded or something)

He hung himself in a field he bought, his body baked in the sun, the rope broke and he was found exploded on the ground.
In Matthew 27:3–7 he is filled with remorse, tries to give the silver back, the priests don’t want it, he throws it on the ground and goes and hangs himself, and the priests buy a potters field with it.
But in Acts 1:18 it merely says he buys used the money to buys a field, falls in it, and “burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.”
It’s a famous discrepancy among biblical scholars, and the general belief is that it is a discrepancy. Some try to justify it figuratively, but the better explanation is it’s all nonsense.

🤣 man “he felt shame and at least hung himself” never thought I’d LoL to the betrayal of Jesus.

Well no, that’s what I was saying.
