But see, the Christians you speak with will come up with something like " Judas hung himself but the body rotted and THEN fell headlong and the intestines fell out. And, seeing as it was his money that bought the field, he basically did buy it, because he completed the work the money was paid for, even if he was remorseful afterwards and tried to give it back."

Just sayin'. There's always an explanation when you are dealing with a text full of contradiction and different, incomplete perspectives, that has gone through multiple translations and about 2k years dealing with gospel written third hand in the first place. ANY story would have multiple tellings with differing details put through all of that. Add in that the people who believe it implicitly are LOOKING for every item that could support their perspective and happily discard anything that looks as though it would interfere, and you have an uphill battle.

Realize when you get into discussions with Christians that you are dealing with a brainwashed mindset that, in most cases, has been instilled since birth. I wish you the best of luck.
