Was Judas a villain?

Judas just didn't have a good press agent. If he were alive today, the story would have gotten better spin in his favor.

BTW, speaking of Judas, has anyone else ever read the book "Virgin"? It's actually a great book and Judas plays a major part in it.

Well, if I remember my Bible stories, God had a history of messing with people and their free will. He hardened the Pharaoh's heart, causing the Pharaoh to persecute the Jews, and then God punished the Pharaoh for picking on the Jews. Not terribly fair.
