    I still don't get it. It can be interpreted in 2 ways, religious or relationships. Yeah, women date bad boys (Judas) and give everything to them even though they know they are not dating a good guy. Christian girls know what is wrong and right, but most of them just ignore the doctrine and rather to do like everyone do no matter if it's wrong, compared this to relationships, they don't care if what they do with their bfs is wrong because they are in love with them even though they know Jesus. But in another way, I'm pretty afraid of this song, She's in love with Judas who was himself Satan as he betrayed Jesus. Look at the video and pay attention to the images, they are all sensual yeah sex sells. But at the end, why does she appear dead?

    I believe that these lyrics could be about a relationship she was or still is in, or it could be about her struggles with her religion. I was born into then roman catholic religion, and honestly I find it hard to believe 95% of what is stated in the bible. It was written 500 years after Jesus' death! We all know how stories work, it's like playing a game of telephone, one person says something to another person who eventually tells someone else and then that person tells someone they know, and so on. By the time the stories of Jesus were actually written and made into what we call the bible, the stories were (like every other piece of gossip or story) completely changed depending on each tellers beliefs and interpretation of the version of the story they were told. I'm honestly getting sick of the catholic religion, yes I do believe in some of the things stated in the bible, but I do not believe that forcing religion down peoples throats is the bright thing to do. And who is any catholic to blame people who are not catholic for being "hypocrites"? If anything we're the hypocrites, thou shall not kill? But it's okay for us to burn thousands of people at the stake for not believing in the religion we preach? Priests and popes are meant to be pure and refrain from sexual intimacy, but it's okay for them to molest children? The catholic religion is the most hypocritical religion out there, so I don't blame anyone for struggling with their beliefs. Now this is only my personal thoughts, I'm not trying to force you to agree, because that would make me a hypocrite. But whether the song is about the religion or her relationship each makes a great argument that really doesn't have a right or wrong answer.

    I have no intention of offending or mocking those who strongly believe in the catholic religion, so please don't take what I have said personally. This is just me simply vocalizing my struggles with my beliefs in this religion.

    Wow. Amazing how many people defend Lady Gaga. Sha herself admitted she is part of the illuminati but nooo she wants to make reference to metaphors and illusion to portray her actual innocent virtue to some of you.

    But thats the whole plan, people will believe her, defend her and follow her. And reading many posts it is working.

    How can we justify the fact that God's word is being so brutally minupalised. Not only that, people who call themselves Christians love the song, thinking oh I'm just using my God has a metaphor 4 freaken boyfriend relationships. Are you kidding me?

    Wow the new world order is no joke. And I don't judge Gaga 4 what she believes because its what she believes but I definitely also don't defend her and go along wth the song is a "metaphor."

    And people who say If your Christian you shouldn't even listen. . .not like we can control the music on tv and radio but I do switch over when her music plays.

    I really can't interperet the lyrics, but the imagery in the video cleared up any questions I had. GaGa is supposedly Mary Magdeline, and the bikers are the aposales. Judas is the party boy, and Jesus is the peace keeper with the sparkly crown. Throughout the vid, she looks at Judas longingly, but protects Jesus in the crowd. She bathes them both, but then judas gets "shot" with a lipstick gun. She loves them both, but Jesus is like the little boy needing protection, and Judas is the bad boy... Idk. That's what I got from it.

    I believe this song is a metaphor for how she is/was religious (catholic I believe), she loves God/jesus but repeatedly is drawn to bad/evil...represented by Judas, the king with no crown...her inner struggles with good and bad.

    Wow you guys. Come on, it's not supposed to be about how Gaga is a "devil worshipper." It's about loving a man who is a complete and total douchebag. For example, my friend is in love with a guy who cheats on her and isn't nice to her at all...
    "I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel
    But I'm still in love with Judas, baby"
    Like I said, about loving a man who treats you wrong. Everyone just calm down about all this religion stuff and enjoy the song. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to listen to it. Personally it has a good meaning to it and makes sense to me, and I don't take it as "worshipping the devil."
    SO COOL IT.

    it's interesting how most of gaga's songs are questionable to whether or not they have a double meaning. yet people are still naive to believe everything they are told by gaga. how can people be so blind?! even Christians! her lyrics are intentionally blasphemous! i don't listen to her music for entertainment, but i do read her lyrics for research. She is a lost soul who needs Jesus. She, just like everyone of us, will answer to God one day. I only pray she gets saved before then.

    i do belive this song is about her past relationships.... As a christian do i think it right of her to use this story as an anology, NO. but taking this song as it is i understand what she is saying. This song does turn me off as her fan, but i will not bad mouth her. You other christains commenting should not be judging and badmouthing her either. It is very hypocritical of you. Who are you to say she is a devil worshiper?????? You have no proof. I am very ashamed of all of you so quick to judge we all have our faults. all sins committed by man is equal in Gods eyes. So examine yourself before being so high and mighty. Maybe if christians were not so judgemental on things, people would understand the things we try to teach. Calling people devil worshipers because of a unknown meaning of a song and support of gay rights is rash. I am young but i hope someone out there understands and agrees with what im saying. I just hope the rest of the world could learn to love poeple the way chrstians were supposed to even with views different from each other. God Loves You All.

    Is them they here again the ILLUMINATI's they are gaining the worlds population. Jesus is the only king I know that existed even b4 his birth so he needn't a crown before he could exist. Don't listen to them , they wil always play you the game of "the more you look the less you see" is real they have sold there soul long time ago and are only interested in yours and misleading you. Be careful and stand firm cause their regim is fast aproaching.

    i've already read through almost all the comments.
    1st of all, some said that Lady Gaga wasn't trying to worship satan or being serious bout it, or some said Lady Gaga DO believes in God.
    As a true believer, or a true Christian wouldn't sing a song like that.A song that brings bad about Jesus, although, like some said, she was talking about love life, boyfriend etc ...wanting to just made an example, shouldn't, or might i say, musn't use the name of Jesus. it is a very sensitive subject of talk, it is something that STRAIGHTLY OR SEVERELY connected to RELIGION.As some mentioned, she was trying to create a new world, yes, she has a big influence, and through this song, or the song, Born The Way, might show us that she want to be "king" of the world.I saw some comments had been hiden for being too extreme, but i do agree.

    If all you had to do to get fame and fortune was join the illuminati, pray to or sell your soul to the rainman or whatever consider it done. Conspiracy theories are so yesterday...

    God should not be used in this situation. There are many other things Lady Gaga could use in place of God.

    *** PLEASE READ MY POST***She is part of the illuminati, she has even admit it. Many of today's world wide famous people are in it, for example:Lebron James,wiz khalifa,Drake,Birdman,Lil Wayne, 2Pac, and many others. Basically what you is you "sell your soul to the devil" for fame in return, but you if you ever try and leave the colt they will find you and kill you. Thats why many people say 2pac is still alive and had to fled because he didn't want to be apart of it anymore, so they either killed him or he's in hiding. If you research "lady gaga in illuminati" you will find out. Referring to the lyrics now, ""I wanna love you,
    But something's pulling me away from you
    Jesus is my virtue,
    Judas is the demon I cling to, I cling to" She probably is referring that she wants to love God or Jesus but the devil is pulling her away. Also she probably is referring to "Judas" as the devil when she says "jesus is my virtue, Judas is the demon I cling to" she knows Jesus is the right way but "judas" is the one she the "clings" to because of fame.

    How can people be called sheep for admiring a musically gifted woman when people who "follow" religion don't seem to fall under the same title. That statement is only aimed at those of you who have chosen to categorize people into groups rather than accept them as individuals. If there is one type of person I can't stand, its someone who doesn't respect other peoples beliefs, whether it be religious views or a preferred way of life. If your desperate enough, you can twist anything to make it mean whatever you like. I think its time for people to become a little more open minded and realise that everyone is their own person. What may seem "normal" to you may not seem normal to someone else and there is absolutely nothing that gives you the power or the right to criticize someone for not being what you perceive as perfection.

    it is all true what i have read about lady gaga , about her being a satanist . i also want to warn all of you against her music,
    you know all music has an influence on people... if it weren't so then why would we feel better when we listen to some song or fell bad when listening to songs we don;t like??
    it is because it sends a message to our subconscious and it doesn't have an effect on us emmediately but later we will start believing the things she says.

    i am with you guys who dont like her and her music

    I BELIEVE IN JESUS AND I LOVE HIM

    People read far too into things such as lyrics for instance. I don't personally like Lady Gaga but I don't hate her. I am a christian and I won't sit here and put words in her mouth. What I personally think she may have been attempting to say is It's really difficult to be a christian now a days. Temptation and sin is everywhere. It's like walking a fine line. I never once sat there and went wow Lady Gaga is the Antichrist. You can't judge someone like that. Especially since the only being allowed to judge at all is Jesus Christ himself. So if you feel it is your job to judge anyone including celebrities, perhaps you should try to find a real job. I hear McDonald's is hiring. I feel that you can't sit there and look into everything so literally. How do you know what she was thinking when she wrote this? It's sickening watching people misconstrue absolutely everything to the point where they actually get people to believe what they are saying! Come on you are all different, you have your own opinions, so start using the brain God gave you! I love God with all my heart and guess what? He made her just as he made you. In the image of himself.

    This song makes her sound like a satanist... which I wouldn't doubt. Yes God will forgive her... but only if she asks.

    I think she is satanist ,who wears meat for clothes and calls making and entrance being in a shell on the cross,whatever she is doing it is not normal and as christians we should petition to get her music stopped as our little kids are listening to this and could be influenced against our Lord and Saviour from an early age.Let's get the petition going children of God ,we must stand for our Lord who died for us!!!
