If my son is in Hell, then there is no Heaven—because if my son sits in Hell, there is no God.

For the hour or so I read this in, I was a Christian. The dialogue, the history, the Auden quote at the end, the "You didn't wash your hands Pontius Pilate—History did it for you" was really all too much. If anything I wish it was longer.

I went into this a little blindly, so the comedy threw me off at first but I quickly grew to love it as well as the characters. So well-written, it’ll make you laugh as well as cry.

THE ONLY SIN THAT JUDAS COMMIT WAS NOT LETTING JESUS TO LOVE HIM AGAIN

 really good! but i wish i hadn't read the ending before since it's by far the best part. maybe my opinion would be different if had watched the play but i would prefer to have less of the funny parts during the trials and more of what we had in the ending. anyway
