Opinion

Stern’s suspension sets bad precedent
‘Fear Channel’ bows to government pressure

Howard Stern and his guests are notorious for saying what they want when they want.

This time, his loose-tongue tendency has caught up with him.

Point/Counterpoint
Today’s topic: “The Passion of the Christ”

Movie, violence overshadows gospels

I am afraid of “The Passion of the Christ.” I’m afraid people are going to watch the film (which is apparently the most violent movie film critic Roger Ebert has ever seen) and stop reading the gospels and appreciating them for their wonderful variety, narrative richness and even the oftentimes complicated historical and narrative inter-textuality in favor of a story that focuses on ultra-violent details that the gospels simply lack.

Gibson’s ‘Passion’ forces self-evaluation

With the release of Mel Gibson’s, “The Passion of the Christ,” the controversy concerning the film has become a familiar issue. Any discussion about Jesus Christ has the tendency to turn controversial due to clashing beliefs among Christians, Jews, and those with other religious beliefs.
