Better than my personal fav 'WWJD? What would J-Lo Do?'.

Thanks. That was my intention (so far as I know, it's original), but I was wondering how I would justify it if anyone challenged it.

What would anyone challenge?

I can hear everyone booing already, but has anyone ever met an athiest named Godfrey?

Well, WWJD people aren't noted for their sense of humour, and I can imagine one saying "'What would Judas do?' You look to Judas for your role-model?"
I guess you could string them along and say "Don't knock Judas. Without him, your Jeeezus would never have been crucified, and we'd all be still on our way to Hell." - a la the Gospel of Judas (and JC Supersatar).

Well, see there? Great defense and completely logical. Jesus needed Judas' betrayal to become what he did. If Satan had succeeded, Jesus would have lived a long and healthy life, Judas was an instrument of god. And yes you could use him as a role-model.
Who wants to do something according to the will of god - against your own friend/colleague/son of god - and then instead of being rewarded, be so tortured about having to do it that you killed yourself in spite of your own beliefs, then vilified for millennia?
Doing all that takes balls of brass. Why shouldn't Judas be recognized for his sacrifice?
