The Gospel of Judas isn’t what it used to be
This isn’t the future I expected. I thought by now I’d either have robot maids and a personal jetpack, or else civilization would have collapsed and I’d be a post-technological strong man living in a marble palace somewhere, ruling over my own private harem, roman emperor-style. Oh well!

The millenium came and went and here’s another one that didn’t live up to its advance press, circa 1992:
WILL THE REAL JESUS PLEASE STAND UP?
‘A newly translated Gnostic gospel, entitled The Secret Book of Judas of Kerioth, promises to blow more fuses than Holy Blood, Holy Grail and The Last Temptation of Christ put together. According to this seemingly authentic early Cainite-Ophite text, translated from the Coptic by Mohammed al-Murtada and Francis Bendik, Jesus had an active bisexual love life, including relations with John, Lazarus and Mary Magdelene, served an LSD-like psychedelic at the Last Supper, faked his own crucifixion in collaboration with Judas and Joseph of Arimathea [as in the Koranic account] and died a natural death in India many years after the alleged Resurrection.
Worse: the Old Testament god, as described by Jesus, appears as an evil demiurge who perverted the creation begun by the true Creator. This very interesting text was found in 1986 near the Nag Hammadi library, and has an introduction and annotations by Dr. Maxwell Selander of Briggs- Melton Theological Seminary.’
(The World’s Most Incredible Stories:The Best of Fortean Times, p. 184, pub. A.D. 1992)
Of course that may have been a different gospel of Judas - or it may not even have existed at all. No matter.
According to contemporary multiverse theory, not only is the text described above the real actual Gospel of Judas - but it is also an accurate description of Jesus and the life he lead, as well as of the universe and its creator.
Either our universe was created by a superior being and is unique, or else - as probability would have it - ours it but one of an infinite number of universes, all with different histories and different laws of physics.
In one of these universes, the scenario described above actually took place. So its true in and of some universe, if not in this one.
On the other hand, if there are an infinite number of other universe populated by intelligent beings like ourselves, then some of them must have learned how to create simulated, virtual universes of their own. Which would mean that the proliferation of simulated universes on top of real ones must be mind-boggling in volume - inifinity upon infinity. Which greatly increases the odds that the universe we live in now might be one of these - a simulated universe created by superior beings from another universe.
And of course, since there is no difference between a universe created by technologically advanced beings and a universe created by a god, then the Biblical scenario is literally true too.
If our universe is part of a larger multiverse than everything went down exactly like it was described in the Bible - if not here, then somewhere, in some other universe.
Taking in the scope of the whole system, we see that there are an infinite number of Jesii and Judases, obeying the Biblical God, or betraying him, or denouncing him as the demiurge, and either being crucified or escaping from this same fate, as they seduce John and Mary (or don’t) and take psychedelics at the last supper (or do not).
If not here, then somewhere - in an infinite system, every possible (even remotely so) scenario becomes inevitable and must play out somewhere.
