Book cover for The AItheist: a novella (The AItheist Cycle Book 1)
You’ve been down the religion road. Your loss of faith was epic. Not many apostates make the New York Times bestseller list. That’s why I need you to talk to YAR. I need you to change his mind.”

“For Hardy and other critics of the evangelical movement, too often the desire for purity encouraged hypocrisy, earnest ideals became mere performance, and the valuation of hard work turned into pursuit of material prosperity.”
Karen Swallow Prior, The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis, Library Edition

Frederick Douglass
“The practice of separating children from their mother, and hiring the latter out at distances too great to admit of their meeting, except at long intervals, is a marked feature of the cruelty and barbarity of the slave system. But it is in harmony with the grand aim of slavery, which, always and everywhere, is to reduce man to a level with the brute. It is a successful method of obliterating from the mind and heart of the slave, all just ideas of the sacredness of the family, as an institution.”
Frederick Douglass, My Bondage and My Freedom

“Men may irritate women entirely by accident, but I believe they infuriate one another wholly by design.”
S.E. Grove , The Glass Sentence

Frederick Douglass
“Master Hugh was amazed at the simplicity of his spouse, and, probably for the first time, he unfolded to her the true philosophy of slavery, and the peculiar rules necessary to be observed by masters and mistresses, in the management of their human chattels. Mr. Auld promptly forbade continuance of her instruction; telling her, in the first place, that the thing itself was unlawful; that it was also unsafe, and could only lead to mischief. To use his own words, further, he said, "if you give a nigger an inch, he will take an ell;" "he should know nothing but the will of his master, and learn to obey it." "if you teach that nigger—speaking of myself—how to read the bible, there will be no keeping him;" "it would forever unfit him for the duties of a slave;" and "as to himself, learning would do him no good, but probably, a great deal of harm—making him disconsolate and unhappy." "If you learn him now to read, he'll want to know how to write; and, this accomplished, he'll be running away with himself." Such was the tenor of Master Hugh's oracular exposition of the true philosophy of training a human chattel; and it must be confessed that he very clearly comprehended the nature and the requirements of the relation of master and slave.”
Frederick Douglass, My Bondage and My Freedom

“That is almost always the way with stories. True to their very core, even when the events and the people in them are different.”
S.E. Grove, The Glass Sentence
