    They banned it because of "Judas," not becuase of the titular song.

    I state again: they banned it because they think a lot of the songs attack them.

    Electric Chapel
    Bloody Mary
    Black Jesus
    Born This Way
    Judas

    They all impose or affect them and believe it's against their religion in some way. Whether it's Born This Way saying it's okay to be gay, or calling Jesus Black even lol, etc etc.

    I wish Judas could be banned from my work. Don't want to hear it every 1 1/2 hours....

    A great song to induce people to commit mass store suicide perhaps.

    Now, I'm not exactly GaGas biggest fan, and taste is debatable, but:

    This. And extra boldness on the "think" part.

    Frankly, listening to the record, its message strikes me as rather Christian, in fact (accept yourself and others for who you/they are). And people who insist that "Judas" is anti-Christian can't have listened much further than the first line.

    Then again, for many people, faith runs about as deep as regular exclamations of "we love Jesus". If their conception of Jesus is about as deep as the plot of a teletubies episode, it's rather unsurprising they would fail to grasp the message.

    I don't really see how it's attacking them, I think they're just being cry babies. But, it's still funny.
