A collection of essays and rants, inspired and taken from a series that I have been writing for several years concerning this subject. A stirring account of how certain issues are poisoned by organized religions and why we as a society would be much better off without them.

*DISCLAMER* This is a fanfiction novel! Rick Riordan is the proud and proper owner of the Percy Jackson series. --- This story introduces a new character to the Percy Jackson series with a life that leaves both himself and others around him in question. Throughout his life he was told to do what he was told to do or endure the consequence, not even questioning how his life ended up the way it is. After years of dealing with this indescribable pain, he came to the belief that he'd die with this horrible life. Or so he thought. With what began with a terrible loss actually leads up to a life he never expected to have. He earns great reward, respect, and a bright future for completing a severe quest that depended on succession. However, like many quests this one's not going to be easy. Whether it be mythological monsters or a haunting from his past, he manages to triumph over them all thanks to a couple of familiar and new faces. Throughout his quest he finds answers to many questions to his life but one: Is this where his story ends? --- Before you begin reading there's a few more things I want to mention regarding the story. Some chapters are narrated by different characters (symbols will be provided), there are mild abusive moments, it doesn't immediately dive into arriving at Camp Half-Blood nor knowing the main character's name, and this story takes place a month after The Titans Curse (so Percy, Annabeth, and Grover won't be included in "this" story). This is my first story, so I hope y'all like it. This story is dedicated to my high school teachers (for the sake of their privacy, I won't give their names). It was thanks to them I found my passion for writing and came up with the idea to post my stories. I am forever grateful for what they've done for me, I thank them for their undying support, and I doubt I'd be doing this without them. Thank you.

Long ago, 4 gods ruled over humanity since their beginning, but after growing bored, they decided to play a game with humanity. Dividing their power into 52 cards that give humans a part of their power, the gods then disappeared leaving behind a prophecy that said one card wielder would rule over them. The rest of humanity then began hunting down the 52 card users with extreme violence, but since a card would randomly pass to another person in the world, they began imprisoning them. Years past, now in modern-day, a boy hurt and scared because of the hunt for the card wielders, blames the gods and so the Devil bestowed upon him their card. Finding himself in a city for card wielders, he uses his devil's luck to win the game against the gods. (All pics/vids/ect: belong to their makers)

This book is a comprehensive guide to my mind - the mind of an outspoken atheist. Inside, you will find a variety of chapters discussing various topics relating to either religion or atheism. This is an informative guide to my beliefs as an atheist, covering a wide and controversial range of topics. As well as being informative, it is also a debate book. Feel free to state your opinions and engage in intellectual debates with any fellow commenters as well as myself. I always accept PMs regarding religious debate topics.

Read a debate between an Atheist and a Christian as we answer each other's questions and accusations. -Why we believe what we believe. -How did things begin? -Why would God allow evil to exist? -The God of the Bible agrees with slavery. -If God created everything, didn't He create evil? -What happened to the babies during the flood of Noah? And many, many more. "Kudos to you Mckenzie! I'm so glad to find another Christian so dedicated to apologetics." ~DarkPHOTON "Thanks a lot (both of you) for taking the time for this.

The average human being spends every second of his day fighting against the force of nature to see another day. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of outside forces to take my life away - only myself. Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.

"I want you," his hands grip over my shoulders. His eyes gentle and longing, pulling at the strings of my heart. "Human or God, won't make me let go of you" I felt stuck. I am stuck but this was the wrong move, altogether. How could I go home now when he wants to keep me here with him? When he wants me "You don't understa--" "No! it's you who don't understand. I'll destroy a hundred worlds for you to stay by my side. don't you dare, doubt that" I never have - - Einith Roskel is looking for her her Mother.

Religions claim to hold the secrets of the universe as well as the details of its origin, but there's a problem: each religion has a different story, and there are quite a bit of religions out there. Which one should I believe? Well, maybe I don't have to pick. Maybe the stories are different simply because they are told by different people. In this book I examine the origins of the most popular religions in the West to see how they compare to the most modern religion in the world. Science.
