I don't think that "Judas, a song by Lady Gaga heavily influenced by the story," is true. I can't even find anything even linking Lady Gaga and Borges. I see in the history that this section has already been removed, but it was put back. I've not familiar with Wikipedia's editing policies, but I know edit wars are bad form. I think it should be taken out. 24.58.209.80 (talk) 02:28, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, it shouldn't be there. I'm just going to remove it. It's not cited so there is no proof. (I'm the same person as 24.58.209.80) 149.119.156.222 (talk) 16:48, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What's amazing about this, is that Judas WAS a cover character -- for James the Just. He is the sacrifice in the Gospel of Judas, the text that led me to seeing Judas as James. (He sees a vision of his stoning at the hands of fellow disciples, which historically is what did happen to only James that we know of. If you know of another let me know.) This is the origin of the inverted canonical Judas. It was meant to hide James as successor Master. It worked (until now, ha ha) Sahansdal (talk) 17:14, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
