I'm a Christian, and have been for 34 years. I'll never understand why people hate Judas so much. Stop for a moment and think about it. It is through Judas' betrayal that Jesus was arrested and then crucified to became our savior. Honestly, shouldn't we be thanking Judas and worshiping him as much as people worship Mary? Mary brought Jesus to life, Judas brought Jesus to the cross. On the subject of the song, I, too, think she's talking about being betrayed by someone. Like Christ forgave Judas (if Christ can forgive the man for sending him to his death, who are we to not forgive him?) - then Gaga can forgive the man who betrayed her. As a side note, everyone thought the world was coming to an end when Madonna released "Like a Prayer". She was so blasphemous and bringing the end of religion as we know it. Please people. Use the brains God gave you. The world didn't end, and it won't end because Gaga made another crazy/beautiful video.
