A rabbi was asked by one of his students “Why did God create atheists?”
After a long pause, the rabbi finally responded with a soft but sincere voice. “God created atheists” he said, “to teach us the most important lesson of them all – the lesson of true compassion.
"You see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits someone who is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so because of some religious teaching.
"He does not believe that God commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe in God at all, so his actions are based on his sense of morality.
"Look at the kindness he bestows on others simply because he feels it to be right . When someone reaches out to you for help. You should never say ‘I’ll pray that God will help you.’ Instead, for that moment, you should become an atheist – imagine there is no God who could help, and say ‘I will help you’.”
— Martin Buber, “Tales of the Hasidim”

About
My name is Benjamin Schachtman, I’m a writer and a musician (I’m not a fan of third-person bios, so I won’t write one here until someone forces me to).
Like the tagline says, my work concerns the old gods: sex and death, rock and roll. Beyond that, I don’t put limits on what my fiction is about. I’m not from anywhere, so I can go everywhere; I’m not anyone, so I write about everyone . I’m neither a city boy nor a country guy, but I’m both.
So, to be fair, here’s me in NYC and me in the mountains of Arkansas: same jacket, same pretentious, faraway authorial gaze, very similar hangovers.
.
One day there will be a Facebook author page. We’ll see. For now, there’s this blog. And, if you’re clever, you can very likely figure out what my other career is and follow me there too. Just don’t tell anyone I live a double life.
If you’re into that kind of thing, you can also contact me using the form below. And, yes, my band will play at your house party.
