Howdy again Kelly!:)
You roused up a rabble lover, so now here I am checking into
unschoolingdiscussion again and find an interesting thread.

And interestingly enough, this was also being discussed over at
unschooling.com this week (see, I'm not really missing anything)

" that Judas wasn't really hanged (seeing
him
step back on the bus was reassuring <g>),"

You could tell him that it's questionable as to whether the
historical Judas was hanged also! The gospels have two different
versions (one has him being hanged and the money being thrown down in
the temple, the other has him burying the money and his bowels
gushing out) another connection that might interest him.

yeah, yeah----we got into that too. Also the "Mary issue". Simon Zealot and
what zealots are/were (I'm an unschooling zealot, he said! <g>). Pilate vs
Herod vs Ciaphas and the priests. The combining of old & new (the setting &
costumes)----and Ben & I watched Anthony Hopkins in Titus last night----same deal,
old w/ new. What betrayal is and how Judas must have felt. What a messiah is.
How long ago 2000 years is (hard to fathom when you're only eight! <g>). Who
Buddha was----and that Lisa Simpson is buddhist! Tons of other things!
