So now you’re not only against God and his anointed president, but method acting too! Sheesh! Is nothing sacred any more?

Actually, in the Christian mythology, Judas should be venerated. Obviously.
Had he not done what he did, Jesus would not have been crucified and saved everyone from their sins. So he made it all possible.
And, I mean, God/Jesus is/was omniscient and whatnot, so it/he/they damn well knew exactly what was going to happen even before Judas became a disciple of the godman.
