About
A native Texan, I head the blog EmilyHasBooks, writing on a variety of issues related to atheism, humanism, and skepticism. I may actually consume more coffee than books.
Like many of you, I'm a strong supporter of the freedom of speech, expression, and information; I feel that one of our most valuable tools is the free movement of information and ideas.

Emily Dietle Thank you for having me on this morning, Ashley! I haven't been to church in ages.

Paul Applegate A hard/important video to watch.

Jeff Munroe Very important bit of news and information, and highly personal to me. Since the 80's, I've had several gay friends who would only come out to me. We lived in a very strict and biblical part of Canada . . . the prairie Bible Belt in Central Alberta . . . about as fucked up Red-Neck as it gets. I've watched and tried to help friends who ultimately spiralled down after their families rejected them in no less a reprehensible way as these Southern Toe-Heads.

Jeff Munroe Oh, and my daughter, while not gay, is very open-minded and has many such friends who are open, and are always welcome in our home . . . one of her friends stayed with us after his parents kicked him out after he went through something like this. 8 years later, he still doesn't talk to his father. But he's happy, he has my wife and I, and many friends and the freedom to be who he is. I've circulated this video to all of them on Facebook.
