... if "having many men" makes a woman a whore, then it must follow that "having many women" makes a man one. In which case, JC was probably the biggest whore of all -- considering how many groupies he had.

I still think the musical does a decent job of portraying things from Judas's side. Would be interesting to actually talk to the man and find out what was really going through his head at the time. 30 pieces of silver is chicken feed.
