DESCRIPTION:As part of her nationwide tour, Sunsara Taylor will be at 
 Sanford\nUniversity speaking on Bob Avakian's provocative book "Away With 
 All\nGods! Unchaining the Mind and Radically Changing the World".\n\nWe are 
 in a moment where broad controversy and debate over religion\nexists on a 
 scale unprecedented in recent times and this is taking\nconcentrated 
 expression on college campuses across the country with\ngrowing evangelical 
 and fundamentalist Christian movements as well as\na surge in atheism and 
 secularism.  Sunsara\nTaylor stands out for her ability to speak with 
 substance and passion\nto the questions in the subtitle of this powerful 
 new book, both\nunchaining the mind and radically changing the world. 
 Sunsara Taylor\nwill draw from the book, and her experiences around the 
 country,\nchallenging religion and the harm it does.\n\n-- Is believing in 
 gods actually harmful?\n-- Is there such a thing as an unchanging, 
 unchangeable human nature?\n-- Can people be good without god?\n-- Why is 
 patriarchy and the oppression of women foundational to so\nmany 
 religions?\n-- Why is there a rise of religious fundamentalism throughout 
 the world?\n\n****\nMs. Taylor is a writer for Revolution newspaper, a 
 dynamic speaker and\nan uncompromising atheist.  Her coverage of the rise 
 of Christian\nfascism has taken her to the gates of abortion clinics across 
 the\ncountry, to Terri Schiavo's hospice, to inside the stadiums of 
 the\nBattleCry movement to train Christian youth shock troops and led 
 to\nnumerous impressive verbal battles with Bill O'Reilly, Sean 
 Hannity\nand countless thoughtful interviews with reality-based radio 
 hosts.\nSunsara co-hosts WBAI (Pacifica ) radio program "Equal Time for 
 Free\nThought" where she interviews cutting edge authors on the dangers 
 of\nthe Christian right, the oppression of women, and the importance 
 of\nscience, critical thinking and an unfettered search for the 
 truth.\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/10/04/18542878.php
