CELEBRATE THE PUBLICATION OF:  AWAY WITH ALL GODS! UNCHAINING THE MIND AND RADICALLY CHANGING THE WORLD    Readings from a new book by BOB AVAKIAN featuring CLYDE YOUNG of the Revolutionary Communist Party & Special Guests DISCUSSION & RECEPTION TO FOLLOW Thursday, April 10, 2008 7:00PM CENTRAL LIBRARY MARK TAPER AUDITORIUM 630 W. 5th Street Los Angeles, CA 90071 (between Grand & Flower) click here for map FREE TO THE PUBLIC SPANISH TRANSLATION PROVIDED Sponsored by: Libros Revolucion Cosponsored by: The Los Angeles Public Library, Department of Social Sciences, Philosophy and Religion For more information, call: (213) 488-1303 ABOUT THE BOOK   Is believing in gods actually harmful? How has Christianity for centuries served as an ideology of conquest and subjugation?   Why is the "Bible Belt" in the U.S. also the "lynching belt"?   Why is there a rise of religious fundamentalism throughout the world? In the intensifying conflict between U.S. imperialism and Islamic fundamentalism, is the only choice to take one side or the other?   Why is patriarchy and the oppression of women foundational to so many religions?   Can people be good without god? These are just some of the questions explored in this provocative work by Bob Avakian.   Bringing a unique revolutionary communist voice to the current discourse about god, atheism and morality, Avakian demystifies religious belief and examines how, even in its most progressive interpretations, religion stands in the way of the emancipation of humanity. A thread deeply woven throughout Away With All Gods! is the need to fully rupture with all forms of superstition, and to take up instead a truly scientific approach to understanding and transforming reality.   Whether you believe in god, or are an agnostic or an atheist, Bob Avakian will challenge you with his powerful critique of long-established traditions and his liberating vision of a radically different world.   WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING   "What most distinguishes Avakian's Away With All Gods from other much publicized books of this kind, such as those by Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens, is the direct connection Avakian makes between combating religious fundamentalism and promoting a radical political agenda. Avakian is also   to be commended not only for combining his religious freethinking with an endorsement of the modern Enlightenment tradition, but also for providing a sober warning against 'the smug arrogance of the enlightened.'   Anyone who has read any of the other books mentioned above should also take the time to read this one."   -Allen Wood, author of Karl Marx and Kantian Ethics   ABOUT THE AUTHOR   Bob Avakian is a veteran of the Free Speech Movement and the revolutionary upsurges of the 1960s and '70s. In 1975 he led in founding the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA, and has been its Chairman ever since. Avakian has an extensive body of work, From Ike to Mao and Beyond: My Journey From Mainstream American to Revolutionary Communist (a memoir), Marxism and the Call of the Future: Conversations on Ethics, History, and Politics (co-authored with Bill Martin) and Revolution: Why It's Necessary, Why It's Possible, What It's All About (DVD/VHS).   BOB AVAKIAN WILL NOT BE PRESENT AT THIS EVENT.   For more information on the book, including excerpts, table of contents and further commentary, CLICK HERE   Download, print and distribute the PDF EVENT FLYER HERE
