Rethinking opinions: a response to Jacob Amos’ Oct. 5 2012 article

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Contributing Writer

I don’t need to call the recent article by Jacob Amos a, “paradox”, “oxymoron”, “nonsensical” or even, “downright stupid”, I will simply call it– wrong. It is wrong because Mr. Amos’ essay is internally inconsistent and also because, if taken seriously, his ideas would destroy the very discourses he’s trying to protect. Amos states a…

The folly of opinions

Posted on October 4, 2012October 4, 2012 by Jacob Amos

Call it a paradox, call it an oxymoron, call it nonsensical or downright stupid—the words contained herein will opine on the folly of opinions, particularly those vehemently guarded. As almost-adults grasping desperately in those always-awkward adolescent years for some semblance of an individualized identity, the safety in the inspiring imperative to be oneself and stand…

Wahls weighs in on marriage amendment

Posted on September 27, 2012September 27, 2012 by Meagan Pittelko

Everyone on this tiny campus has heard, on some level, the “Sin is Sin” vs. “Love is Love” debate. It has become much more than an opinion, much more than words and much more than the seemingly simple decision to choose a t-shirt. It has become a debate of faith, freedom and understanding. It has…

Hate for hate

Posted on September 20, 2012September 20, 2012 by Howard Mukanda

“Sin is Sin” and “The Innocence of Muslims” are extremely different cases that came into the spotlight as a result of social media. What we see, however, is the public response to these issues is not appealing and that leads me to ask: why do we respond to “hate” with animosity? How about dialogue instead…

The free press, not a free pass

Posted on September 13, 2012September 13, 2012 by The Concordian

The past two weeks have played host to freshman orientation, two speeches by interfaith leader Eboo Patel and a two-day symposium on international genocide. A brief glimpse through the pages of this week’s Concordian reveals how seriously we as students and professors accept the charge of engaging the world around us. At the Concordian, we…

‘Sin is Sin’ t-shirt stirs debate

Posted on September 13, 2012October 13, 2013 by Sallie Steiner

  A Concordia student has gone public about her plans for a t-shirt campaign during National Coming Out Week to counter what she views as the majority student body attitude towards homosexuality. This issue exploded a few weeks ago when Facebook notes and blog posts written by senior Rebecca Julius went viral. She published her…

Interfaith and secular students

Posted on September 13, 2012September 13, 2012 by Matt Hansen

I couldn’t help but shudder when I heard Eboo Patel praise Concordia for leading the way with interfaith dialogue at this year’s Opening Convocation. His high praise (although namely attributed to the establishment of the Forum on Faith and Life and the soon-to-be chapter of his Interfaith Youth Core’s organization “Better Together”) just did not…
