Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

Some people think, when Jesus foretells Judas' betrayal, it was actually a command, which Judas followed of his own free will and loyalty, even though it would make him look very bad. https://www.bibleserver.com/ESV/John13:26

By giving the command Jesus could be arrested in a controlled situation on his own terms without much collateral damage, as he knew he had respawn powers, which he vaguely foretold as well.

Some Christians also believe that Judas dying before Jesus resurrection means he might have been freed from hell as part of the Descensus Christi ad Inferos aka the Harrowing of Hell.

If there's that much bending over backward to try and justify an ancient story then maybe the story is kinda nonsense

You should leave a bad review on goodreads.

It leaves a lot of space for interpretation, but other religious texts do even more so, eg. the Quran.
