HA! I googled St. Ratford, before I looked closely at the author's name.

Duh.

Actually yes... If you believe that Jesus was God's messenger and saviour of man, and he must have been crucified for our sins -- then someone had to betray him and that had be done as God's will... Logic, based on predestiny states that Judas did what God intended and wanted. The argument becomes circular if you carry it out to the extreme.

Someone said: "someone had to betray him and that had be done as God's will... Logic, based on predestiny states" ...

Only if one subscribes to the BELIEF (ie: not supported by logic/reason) that God is omnicient and WE - no more than glorified robots.

If this is true, what is the use of speculating using such pseudo-logic, my robot friend?
