    Wow, whoever wrote on April 16th at 11:16 really misinterpreted slot of things.
    I think it is strange that you applaud ringing down religion so that we can murder people and have affairs on our spouses without having to feel bad about it. That is frightening.
    I could go on and on about how you mid read things and spike before knowing facts if I will stick to one that is very important. When she reveres to a king without a crown, she cannot be talking about Jesus is powerless over her, because no one thinks Jess has a crown. He has always been described as a king with out a crown, by Christians and non Christians alike. The bible makes a point of Jesus being different than the kings we have on earth. Lastly when you say we need to bring down religion then specifically point out that it is Christianity we need to bring down, you are being equally as prejudice as if you said we need to brig down the Jews, another religious group. That is what hitler said you know, although apparently you don't think we should feel bad about murder.

    Hi all lady gaga is a devil worshiper stop being so blinded by her demonic spirit,they want you to believe that theres nothing wrong with the lyrics so you can sing along and worship da devil too.i feel reali sorry for christians who think that,that song is ok,once you accept it you allow demons to control your mind..remember you can be saved but your mind stil possesed by wicked spirit.repeant and ask jesus to cleanse your spirit,mind and body..dont be free but not yet delivered..read romans 12.1-2 and see what paul said..JESUS LOVES AND HE DOESNT WANA LOSE ANY1 OF HIS CHOSEN 1S STAY BLESSED..

    Um I could be wrong, but I thought gaga was catholic not Christian... And something else... At the moment I'm sleep deprived and probably a wee bit crazy, but honestly... Just enjoy the song... There is this one song, disco heaven, by heloise and the savior faire... I think the lyrics are uber slutty, but I enjoy the song because the tune is nice! I just heard thIs song for the first time and I plan on downloading it because I like it. I could care less about the lyrics, but I like the song. And I'm christian. I trust gaga when she says the song is about past boyfriends... It hurts me to see everyone tearing everyone else down. If people destroy more than the build, then it leaves everything In one bloody state of ruin. The thing about people is they will always have there own opinion, and you can't change that. So just give it a rest and like the freackin' song. Night y'all!

    U guys are being weird.how can gaga love God if she apparently doesn't mind walking on stage half naked!pray for her soul. I am a roman catholic and I don't care what u say.
    It's so dang obvious.she is trying to put judas in Jesus' place.ok,so shes struggling with temptation.if she was christian she would ask God for help.Gaga never does that in the video!honestly,all she wants is attention, it's the natural human need.she's run out of resources with her body so she just writes songs that are so satanic that they cause a bunch of freaking controversy.But listen,all I'm gonna do is pray for u-yep,listen to gaga.but I'm not.so go admire her body while u leave all the important stuff outside.

    I don't think there is any need to use this type of biblical reference in a song unless you are singing to praise the Lord. I'm not saying she is singing it in a literal sense like she actually "loves judas". I do believe that parts of the song can be confusing but it seems to me that she is singing about a past lover. However, if she loved God and believed in him and trusted him as her lord and savior she wouldn't sing a song that could be misunderstood in such a way. No matter the money being offered. And she may say she believes is God but it take more than that to be a Christian. You have to live for him and trust him also. Again I don't think this song is bashing religion or God but I do think that it's innapropriate and I've lost some respect for her.

    Even Satan believes in Jesus and God... the difference is who he chooses to live his life for: himself instead of the life Christ called us to. Something to think about...

    Even Christians make mistakes and come off as pridful sometimes. We are human too. I'm sorry if that pride got in the way of some people getting the big picture.

    But as a Christian, I would like to say that if Gaga is in fact trying to say that religion is bad, I would acutally kinda agree. Just because a person follows religion, man made laws and rituals, does not mean that that person has a heart for Christ, and it is our heart that Christ wants. Religion can actaully get in the way of a focus on a relaionship with Christ. Religion in and of itself is not good. The way that one choses to live their life stems from their heart, and if the laws of religion are not followed because of a heart for Christ, thereby a love and forgiveness for others, then it is empty.

    Its about going back to someone who betrays you, even though there's someone who still loves you and treats you right (jesus). You want to go be with the right person, but you just can't help yourself from being with the wrong one (judas).

    Hi everyone. I am a mother of four and teach Sunday School. Here's what I think.

    Jesus loved his disciples...even the ones that betrayed him. ALL of them did this. Judas once, and Peter three times, the rest simply ran away.

    At the "Last Supper" Jesus announced that someone would betray him. Although they all hung out and were a close group-not one of the disciples suspected Judas. Why?

    Because "the King without a crown" (Jesus) stilled loved Judas and did not treat him any different than the rest of the disciples. Although he knew Judas plans, Jesus stilled loved Judas and did not hold it against him-his future plans to "bring him down". He ate with him and washed his feet. (To show us how we are to serve each other)

    Jesus had already made up his mind to forgive Judas, Peter, and the rest of humanity for not knowing how to properly love. His power showed through in allowing each person to make their choice on how they are to love. Jesus had the power to stop Judas if he wanted to. Instead he allowed himself to die in order to give us access to God-the source of all love.

    Now..."in the most biblical sense" prostitutes, hookers,(sin that can be seen outwardly)were looked down upon and stoned to death. But Judas carried sin inwardly that nobody knew about except for Jesus. Obviously Judas was offended by this and gave in to his struggle by betraying Jesus with a kiss.

    Jesus was known to be outspoken about sin that could not be seen. He cared more about what was inward (our hearts), then what was seen by others. He understood our struggle with what feels good, and what is the right thing to do which sometimes does not feel so good.

    Love...which one of us knows how to do it purely? We are human. We love according to what has loved us. Even then, we can still choose how to love others.

    And I choose to love Lady Gaga as she continues to discover how to love herself and others. Besides, isn't that what Jesus does?

    I don't care what anyone says, Lady GaGa has lost her mind! What a huge mistake it is to pass her lyrics off as entertainment. If she wasn't being blasphemous why doesn't she use the words that just say what she mean. She's super creative,right? Why adulterate scripture using these words symbolizing Jesus and His betrayer? And in every song she references Jesus, God, scripture....why? Why doesn't she just use another metaphor. There's something wrong with her and she's using anti-Christ ideology to influence her music, and influence young minds. While she yet has breath in her lungs (which God gives her) she must repent. "The wages of sin is death, but the gift from God is enternal Life" The choice is yours: Live eternally in heaven....or Die eternally in hell.

    If this song was from God in Heaven then there would be no confusion. It clearly states the the devils name. That is how the evil one lurks. The chorus repeats his name in your head. Everyone can agree that Lady Gaga has a gifted voice but it's not really a gift from the holy spirit. There is a difference. This song does not touch the point. It confuses. I'm a song writer myself. The metaphors she uses do not make clear statements. If you listen to true Christian singers then you would see the difference. Try listening to some of the best like Michael W. Smith: Crucified, Yolanda Adams: Fragile Heart, Jaci Velasquez: On my knees. You can clearly hear the difference. If she was talking about past relationships then she should have said it clearer. I won't "jam" to this song myself. I liked Lady Gaga but now she just seems overrated. She should choose better lyrics. Our next generations are listening to these songs and singing to them because they get radio play. I say listen to what you want but remember to always pay attention to the lyrics. You have the choice to turn the dial. I hope she didn't get her Fame from selling her soul to the devil.

    This is the classic double-entendre, so beloved by those who 'dabble' in the occult or esoteric.
    The uninitiated may want to give her the benefit of any doubt and go with the betrayal of a former lover.
    On the other hand, those with even a little knowledge of the occult will know that she demonstrates on stage and video, with props and hand signs, many secret kabbalistic, 'masonic' type rituals!
    She probably follows the Kabbala, as does Madonna and many other prolific 'stars'.
    Therefore, I would not rule out the Anti-Christ interpretation either.
    She obviously delights and revels in controversy and sensationalism.
    But the analogy was 'crafted' with this very purpose, no doubt.
    Ha ha, can you imagine her writing the lyric,

    Oh I am in love with Hitler Hitler
    Oh I am in love with Hitler Hitler

    Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, Hitler
    Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, Gaga
    The Jews are my virtue
    But Hitler is the demon I cling to..???

    Hmmmm, maybe not. ))

    "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." Isaiah 5:20

    This song is disturbing to me; the video even more so. Anyone who thinks this is just about her past relationships is really off! She is clearly making references to Jesus Christ and it's blasphemous. As a believer in Christ and someone that lives for Him, I am grieved by what our culture heralds as "good music." One day, she will stand before the One True God, the King of Kings and will give an account for this blasphemy. Woe to those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit!
