The Last Days of Judas Iscariot: A Play

by Stephen Adly Guirgis

The difference, I posit, between you and Judas Iscariot is that you accepted that you were created in God’s Image, whereas Judas Iscariot—he sought to create God into his own image—God as earthly avenger, which was not God’s way.

SATAN: And “Hell” is nothing more than the Absence of God, which, if you’re looking for a good time, is not at all a bad thing.

JUDAS: Why … didn’t you make me good enough … so that you could’ve loved me?
