I Sold My Soul on eBay

Viewing Faith through an Atheist's Eyes

By: Hemant Mehta

Unique insights from an atheist’s Sunday-morning odyssey When Hemant Mehta was a teenager he stopped believing in God, but he never lost his interest in religion. Mehta is “the eBay atheist,” the nonbeliever who auctioned off the opportunity for the winning bidder to send him to church. The auction winner was Jim Henderson, a former pastor and author of Evangelism Without Additives. Since then, Mehta has visited a variety of church services–posting his insightful critiques on the Internet and spawning a positive, ongoing dialogue between atheists and believers. I Sold My Soul on eBay tells how and why Mehta became an atheist and features his latest church critiques, including descriptions of his visits to some of the best-known churches in the country. His observations will surprise and challenge you, revealing how the church comes across to those outside the faith. Who better than a nonbeliever to offer an eye-opening assessment of how the gospel is being presented–and the elements that enhance or detract from the presentation. Mehta announced prior to his churchgoing odyssey that he would watch for any signs of God’s existence. After spending Sunday mornings in some of the nation’s leading churches, what happened to the man who sold his soul on eBay? Did attending church change his lack of belief? The answers can be found inside.

The Friendly Atheist: Thoughts on the Role of Religion in Politics and Media

Atheists Are People Too!

By: Hemant Mehta

Every semester, in the weeks leading up to final exams, I hand out a study guide to all of my high school math students and have them complete it so that they have a sense of what to expect on the big test. Inevitably, students ask: "If I just study this packet, will I be prepared for the exam?" I sigh. I stare at them. I give them the response every teacher knows by heart: No, of course the packet isn't enough. You should go through your notes, your homework, and the textbook. You should redo the examples we did in class and try more practice problems from the book. The study guide is only a summary of the big ideas from the semester. If you really want to understand the subject, you have to go much more in depth. In a sense, this book is a study guide for the things I've written about over the past several years. My name is Hemant Mehta, and I began FriendlyAtheist.com in 2006 (before I began teaching high school) in order to talk about a topic I was incredibly passionate about—religion. Not necessarily to convince people that God didn't exist, but to talk about the issues that mattered now that we were Godless. What you see in this book is a compilation of posts discussing the subjects I have written the most about. They are reprinted here, with minimal editing, to offer a glimpse into my world and to show you the concerns I've had as an American atheist. That means talking about atheists who fight for their (and, in many respects, our) rights, responding to people who smear us just because we're not religious, and making people aware of the way atheists are viewed by the majority of Americans (hint: we're not very popular). That means talking about politics and social issues (in particular: the fight for equal rights for the LGBT community), since those are the major issues in our country where rational thinking, free from religious tradition, is needed but seldom found. That means talking about the obstacles that young atheists have to deal with on a regular basis. Their challenges are so different than the ones we face in the "real world," yet their courage inspires all of us. To be a vocal atheist is never easy, and there are students promoting rational thinking on campus while keeping their administrators in check. They do this despite risking their social capital. At the same time, when those students are not around to act as watchdogs, we must do it for them and shine a spotlight on illegal intrusions of religion into our public schools. Are these the only issues that matter to atheists? No, but they are the issues that have taken up the bulk of my writing in the years since I began covering atheism-related news. If you want to get a fuller picture of what atheists are talking about, what our activism involves, and what our future looks like, no single writer can do that for you, just as no single study guide will prepare you for a final exam.

The Young Atheist's Survival Guide

Helping Secular Students Thrive

By: Hemant Mehta

Nearly a third of Americans under the age of thirty have no religious affiliation, the highest in any recorded generation. In this growing segment of "nones" are many young Atheists who have faced prejudice in their high schools and communities for standing up for their constitutional right of freedom from religion. You'll hear some of their stories in this book, whether they're protesting their school's public prayers at football games and graduations or sitting out the "under God" portion of the Pledge of Allegiance. These atheist students know their rights and have fought for them, sometimes at tremendous personal cost. Their examples serve as inspiration for all the young atheists out there who live in communities where school often feels no different from church and teachers are no different from preachers. This handbook is a resource for parents, teachers, friends, and young atheists themselves. Hemant Mehta, "The Friendly Atheist" blogger at patheos.com, discusses how to deal with teachers and administrators who promote faith in public schools, handle the peer pressure and ostracism that may come with being an outspoken atheist, and create successful student groups that encourage conversation over conversion.

Knowledge Systems and Natural Resources

Management, Policy, and Institutions in Nepal

By: Hemant R. Ojha,Ram B. Chhetri

In recent years, knowledge systems have become key areas of concern for researchers, policy-makers and developmental activists. Knowledge Systems and Natural Resources is a unique collection of case studies from Nepal. It provides rich and incisive insights into critical social processes and deliberative governance. It analyses how knowledge is produced, disseminated and applied in various aspects of natural resource governance in Nepal. The book challenges the dichotomy between traditional and scientific knowledge. It proposes to differentiate among systems of knowledge on the basis of political standing of social actors engaged in natural resource governance. It further proposes that change in governance hinges on how the diverse systems of knowledge come into deliberative interface and to what extent the unequal distribution of power and knowledge resources in society constrain the process of deliberation.

When The Sky Is Fallin

By: Hemant Rana shah

Probably, the quote 'What's in a name' would have died in inconsequentiality had the name of philosopher, who quoted it, not been Shakespeare. That's in a name. A guy has a dream of making a name for himself. Things happen and the dream dies. A girl comes and rekindles it. He falls in love and she leaves. A dream is fine until it becomes an ambition from a childhood fantasy and it worsens after this ambition turns into a Psora. Where will he find the bright closure of his quests?

My PGMEE Notes

1st Edition, 2018

By: Dr Hemant Gajendra,Dr Puja Singh

Salient Features First of its kind when the book is not written by the senior authors but by the student who is in the race of PGMEE competition. Being the student ourselves, we have observed that giving sleepless nights to textbooks, class notes and question-based books, studying the whole year but failing to compile and revise everything in the final lap was the most common regret that students have. We came up with an idea during our own preparations to compile the maximum possible important facts and data, along with necessary diagrams, mnemonics and Photographs together at one place in the most concise and simplified way and this idea came into reality by completing this herculean task which ended with a fruit in your hand- " My PGMEE Notes” In these Notes we are using inclusive target oriented approach based on the new exam patterns that we have experienced in the last few years. The Notes itself defies “Jack of all trades and master of SOME”. It is like “SEA IN A POT”. • It contains: • All the important topics of 19 Subjects of MBBS • Perfect illustrations, diagrams and clinical photographs wherever necessary • Important Tables from Authentic Textbooks and journals • Most Recent updates from latest Textbooks, Journals and Important Website • Mnemonics for various topics for a quick recall of the topics when needed • Content Reviewed by Various PG Aspirants from PAN India Medical Colleges & Subject Experts. • Each page in the Notes is provided with a “Space for Extra Points”. In that space students can add their extra points which they feel are important for that particular topic. This way at the end, the Notes will have everything at one place perfectly tailored for you. How to make the best out of this Notes? To make the best out of this Notes, make a schedule to complete this notes by studying it for a specific number of hours/day (like 1–2 hours/day) or a specific number of pages per day (like 20–30 pages/day), complete it, add the Special Points, Revise and Re-revise. For example: Make a cycle of 40 days, try to complete this notes in 40 days (studying 20 pages/day). The way Notes has been represented it will take hardly 2 hours for you to complete your 20-page quota of the day. As soon as your one cycle is over start with another cycle which may be shorter this time (say 32 days with 25 pages/day). With this plan, till your exams knock your door you would have already revised the Notes "n" number of times and then re-revise these Notes in the last week before the exam. This is sort of "must follow step" for you. To make this Notes more fruitful, optimize it according to your needs by adding the extra points/newer updates in the space provided below each page in respective topics and make it a complete package for your last month preparation.
