  0 1 Thanks for this suggestion, but I'm not sure this is the solution. I just tried this, and it seems to take forever to upload anything (basically, I waited about 30 seconds for a word doc to upload after three tries, then gave up). Marc Mazique commented about 1 year ago

  Why was Judas punished?

  1 0 As someone who considers myself a "recovering Christian", I love asking this question of self-righteous Christian folks when they try to engage me about Christianity. It brings up the contradictory issues of predestination vs. free will, along with the question of the Christian God being both all-benevolent and all-powerful. My argument is basically that in either case, Judas is the hero, not the villain, of Christianity. If Judas was predestined to betray Jesus, he fulfilled his role as part of God's plan. (This doesn't mean he escapes the guilt for playing what felt like an evil role -- which led to his suicide in the story -- but he shouldn't be damned for doing what God wanted/created him to do). If Judas betrayed Jesus by choice, then he still fulfilled the role of ensuring the Crucifixion/Resurrection/blahdeblah all happened. The fact that his free choice led to something evil in the service of good shouldn't matter, any more than all the folks killed by God's chosen people throughout the Old Testament in service of whatever goal. Whether he chose it or not, Judas set the whole convoluted plan of God's in motion. While he may have suffered guilt around the consequences, it really would run counter to God's supposed benevolence to say such a person would be guilty enough of anything to be damned. He did less "evil" things (i.e. killing, adultery, etc.) than most "heroes"/protagonists of the Old Testament did.

  how does one go about getting in the music line up for the 2011 chbp?

  0 0 Fuzed Music, Dave Meinert's company that does the majority of the booking for the Block Party, accepts applications from bands via Sonic Bids. The deadline is usually mid-May. Here's the link for this year's Block Party listing... http://www.sonicbids.com/Opportunity/OpportunityView.aspx?opportunity_id=17687 In the meantime, playing a lot, and working to get some press is likely the best way to make sure that when you submit something next year, you'll hopefully stand out from all the other bands...good luck!

  The Elusive First Show...

  1 0 Andrew, I am a Vera Project member who is also a member of the Programming Committee. A few folks on the committee (not I, but a few others) are working with Seattle Parks and Recreation to set up a few shows this summer with teenage bands exclusively at Golden Gardens. The folks involved are currently soliciting and reviewing music samples and demos from bands. To get your band into the mix, I'd suggest you email Josh Powell, the Programming Director at joshp@theveraproject.org. He'll make sure to connect you up with the folks working on this. Good luck...Marc M Marc Mazique answered in Music Panel over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »
