You've likely heard some of the greatest Bible stories ever told, but strap in for The Worst Bible Stories Never (or at least rarely) Told.
This book is a compilation of some of the absolute worst stories you will find in the Bible, along with many scriptures that can be concerning, alarming, gross, and downright confusing.
The purpose of this book isn't to slander or denounce the Bible, but it is intended to provoke thought and make the reader consider what it entails to really read, understand, and choose to accept the Bible. This book is meant to draw attention to the very worst aspects of the Bible (as the very best aspects of the bible already receive many times more consideration) in order to encourage healthy skepticism when approaching the scriptures.
So far, I have included a sample of the entire book of Genesis' worst stories and scary scriptures with the exception of the most popular Bible stories. I plan to include these in a companion book called "The Devil's Advocate's Book of Bible Stories" that explores the darker sides and left out parts of everyone's favorite and most well known Bible stories with thought provoking questions and examinations of common answers to those questions.
Both books are currently crowd funding on Inkshares.com

Throwback Vol. #1 (Violent Faith)
In light of readers telling me how much they enjoyed the short story collection, "Strange Mutations (one man's trash)", I decided to dig deeper into that old, smelly trash-bin and see what else I could scrounge up. So, readers beware, I will be publishing a slew of old stories under what I decided to call- "The throwback series". I needed to find a way to segregate these stories from my current writing because what's presented here are some rough drafts that spawned from an amateur who was just beginning to dip his toe into the world of literature and didn't have the slightest clue what he was doing. But don't run off!!! As long as you don't expect a bestseller, and keep an open mind, you may be surprised to find something you enjoy about these twisted tales. I do this only because I find it fun to go back as see how much I've grown as a writer from where I started, and only hope you have fun with them as well. Just don't hold it against me. I'll think you'll find a big difference in prose and style if you check out some recent stories under my profile. So first in the Throwback line-up is... Violent Faith. He has his sloppy moments, but if you stick around long enough, he just might surprise you and occasionally knock one out of the park. The title of this novella pretty much covers the plot, so sorry, no description really necessary. I was inspired to write this story after reading Jon Krakauer's novel, "Under the banner of heaven", which was based on true events. My story, however, is completely fictional. It is not meant to be an attack on any certain person or religious group, although it may seem that way at times. I was just having fun. I'm well aware that most Mormons are not psychopaths. It was just a fun theme to play around with. All persons, places, and events are nothing more than my imagination and not to be taken seriously. If you knew me, you'd know I should never be taken seriously. Cheers!! your friend, M.D. StephensConcluída
A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy and Thoughts of Christianity
Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it logical to believe in one? There are so many claims by so many religions, so which is real and logical? Religious sects cannot even agree amongst themselves on doctrines, how can there be a One true divine being then? Why do Christians believe this? Can 'evolution' and 'God' co-exist? This book uses logic and modern day examples to explain the numerous questions that may flood atheists, agnostics and Christians alike. The first section deals with the logic of a divine being, the second deals with specific issues in Christianity, and the third section contains some of the personal psalms and reflections on things that a Christian might face and struggle. Each section contains a collection of articles, some academic, some reflective, and some argumentative. As society progresses in the direction of science and technology, logic and scientific validation plays an increasing role in everyday thought processes. In the scientific and logical world, religion, faith, and beliefs get continuously challenged. Many once-faithful Christians may begin to question their Christian beliefs, or get confused on the validity of the numerous doctrines and teachings of various Christian sects. Similarly, the agnostic is thrown into confusion amongst the claims of many religions and their sects on the 'Truth'. On the other end of the spectrum, the hard-core atheist begins to question the intelligence of more than 50 % of the world population that believe in some sort of divine being(s). The book utilizes logical arguments, and expositions of modern day examples in hopes to bring a clearer picture to issues dealing with a divine creator, the search for the truth, and certain issues in Christianity.Concluída

SiKoRa
⚠️SiKoRa is a fictional story created to explore the world without God, the things discussed and the events that play out can be not only mature but also offensive, but in no way is the story trying to encourage a certain act or make fun of an event. I repeat: if you are offended/disgusted by these certain events/actions then I advise you to not read.⚠️ _Viewer's discretion is advised._ "The Book Of Uriel" Before the beginning, there was nothing. Before Heaven, before Hell, before time itself-there was only silence. Then came the first light, the first rebellion, and the first fall. Now, in a universe where angels, demons, and ancient powers clash, Gabriel, the trickster of Heaven, is forced to reckon with his own fractured existence. As the celestial balance teeters on the edge, secrets long buried are unearthed, and the true cost of power is revealed. Betrayal runs deep, and redemption is nothing but a fleeting illusion. What happens when the foundation of existence begins to crumble? In a world of endless wars, shifting alliances, and forgotten gods, the question remains: Can anything truly be saved, or is everything doomed to turn to ash?Concluída

She is belittled by her other brother yet HaShem wants to defend her. He finds he is willing to give up everything to see others share in that same simple love.

Creator: Friend or Foe?
This story began as a NaNoWriMo 2012 work, with no planning, and even less idea of plot. I learned from that experience that I am not a 'pantser' -and spent about 20 painful months trying to turn my stream-of-consciousness 3-stories-in-one into one coherent novel, following the timeline and events in the Book of Genesis. I discovered that that is not a great way to build a plot. I ended after 5 more drafts, at about 60k words. There is another draft on my blog, slightly longer, a bit more experimental. This is only meant to be a marker of progress. I hope some may find it enjoyable, useful, and even helpful. If interested in the 6th draft: https://shiradest.wordpress.com/2014/12/20/martin-luther-king-rabbinical-commentary-poster-inspired-a-novel/ Peace, ShiraConcluída
Road Rage, Dark Shadows MC (Book 1)
"I told you, baby girl." It's a silky reminder, the endearment making butterflies take off in my stomach. I swallow, and he tracks the movement. "You're mine. You don't get to decide when we're over." Silver Buchanan thought Ash Steele was out of her league. After a lifetime of feeling like she was never enough, she refuses to risk her heart and disappears without a word. She knows their connection wasn't real, and rather than wait for him to end things, she chooses to walk away in search of something she's always longed for: a home and a family. She's certain Ash won't care, knowing his club will always come first. Ash grew up in the MC life, watching his father destroy both his mother and the Dark Shadows. Now president of the club, he's determined that love has no place in his life-not while the club demands his full attention. But when Silver vanishes, he can't shake her from his mind. Their relationship was casual, but nothing about her is easy to forget. When their paths cross again, Ash is set on making her pay for walking away-no matter the cost. When danger threatens Silver's new life, Ash must decide whether he's ready to face his past, confront his feelings, and claim her for good-or let her go forever.
