 "Judas wasn’t that villain, scoundrel, traitor that they made us believe at the oratory all these years."

 "Death, as an abandonment of this nonsensical physical existence, should not be a cause for fear or dread."

This review examines 'The Gospel of Judas,' a controversial ancient text that challenges the traditional villainous portrayal of Judas Iscariot.

 The influence of La Quiete is certainly not hidden, despite having an apparently cleaner and more direct approach, without giving up a melancholic component present in every track.

 Communism does not exist in nature, and as a rule, it does not exist in the culture of human beings.

 A democratic and communist society together does not exist, precisely because human nature, and the nature of things, prevent it.
