Judas takes both awards in my book. If it wasn't for Judas, then we wouldn't have easter eggs now, would we?! No betrayal, no crucifiction etc. SO kudos on that point.
On the other hand, guy would sell his granny. So superficial dude.
Oh wait a second, didn't the church steal the idea of this festival from pagans?
Right, I'm lost, I give up.

God, being just and consumately fair, said 'okey dokey here's what I'll do: I'll establish a lower creation of human beings. Those who excercise positive volition and accept my free gift of salvation will enjoy happiness in time as church members of my royal family and will become my bride for all eternity. Those who reject my grace, as you and your followers chose to do, will suffer for all eternity with you in the Lake of Fire. Only an outline, Andy. Site link to an authoritative information resource is still embedded in my RHP Profile. Choice is still up to you.
What information do we have about the prehistoric angelic conflict?
