This is a Needed, Needed Dialogue
Responding to the announcement of
Revolution and Religion: A Dialogue Between Cornel West and Bob Avakian
November 6, 2014 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
This is a needed, needed dialogue—the religious impulse has been responsible for a lot of altruistic acts through the ages that have fostered compassion and hence an attempt to live a life of real social justice and meantime organized religion has also been used as a tool to brainwash and control the minds of the masses and quite frankly has been one of the most evil forces in the modern world fostering violence and intolerance to people who don't think like them. Should be interesting to see what these two great thinkers come up with as to religion's role in restructuring society.
