Firefox is faster than ever, and I trust Mozilla a fair bit more than Google to not be shady with my data. The switch is painless, and ads these days cover what feels like over half the page… it’s insane.
I run ff on my phone and PC, with all the privacy settings maxed. Ublock also works on Android and makes those trashy BuzzFeed style sites readable.
Isn’t it curious that Judas doesn’t have a halo? He hadn’t betrayed Jesus yet here, yet him not having a halo means he’s already not pure, as if his capacity for betrayal was a predestined trait, rather than a choice.
Well, Judas had already made plans to and agreed to betray Jesus (Matthew 26:14-16) before the last supper (Matthew 26:21), so in effect the betrayal had already begun at the time this painting is depicting. At the same time, Jesus spends a lot of words here repeating that the betrayal has been foretold and has to happen (Matthew 26:53-54), to in a sense Judas did have to betray him, as was foretold. Depends on how you think free will and prophesy interacts. (All references from the New International Version of the Bible at biblica.com)
