    About this ebook

    Eric Maisel is the author of The Atheist’s Way and 40 other books and the developer of natural psychology. Natural psychology, Dr. Maisel's new psychology of meaning, presents a naturalistic, secular, and atheistic psychology. These six atheist teaching tales, similar to Sufi teaching tales, Biblical teaching tales, and fables and fairy tales, convey important natural psychology lessons in story form. Included in this anthology: On Tuesday You Can Walk On Water, Job Interview, Pander Bear, Foursome, War Hero, and The Missing Link.

      The Beautiful Salmon

      Mar 19, 2024

      I’ve always loved salmon. Not to eat, as I don’t eat fish, but I’ve always loved salmon in general because salmon jump and no one knows why. They jump all over the place—out of rivers, up waterfalls. Some say they jump to clean their gills. Others sa

      Welcome to these six atheist teaching tales. My name is Eric Maisel and I’m the author of more than 40 books, including The Atheist’s Way. I hope you enjoy these tales and, if you do, let others know about them!

      Many spiritual, religious and philosophical traditions employ the teaching tale or teaching fable as a way to communicate their principles and practices.

      There are biblical tales in the Judeo-Christian tradition, well-known Sufi teaching tales like The blind man and the elephant, Enlightenment tales like Candide, and modern cautionary tales like Animal Farm.

      This volume contains six tales that add to the canon of atheist teachings. I am including them in the natural psychology series of writings since natural psychology is rooted in the Darwinian and naturalistic view that our species evolved and was not created and therefore is essentially atheistic.

      A stranger, arriving in town for a few days to transact some business, was surprised to see an old man on a downtown corner giving away water. The old man had a set-up just like any hawker’s, except that beside his table he had a large bucket with a ladle hooked over its edge and a sign
