Article that won me VIP pass at Reason Rally
In this episode of A Matter of Doubt we continue our discussion with Ashley. She argues that atheists should approach debate with more passion and emotion. Before a person will respond to logic or evidence, she says, one must first care about the topic and truly understand the emotional depth of what’s being discussed. Our approach must therefore bring about a visceral response before anything else. Is this not the approach from pastors that theists are more accustomed to hearing? Will such an approach rid us of the all-too-common claim of elitism or condescension?
We are very pleased to have as our guest on this episode of A Matter of Doubt, Ashley F. Miller. Ashley is the media coordinator for the Freethought Society of the Midlands, one of the four local groups in Columbia that made it possible for the creation of the Columbia Coalition of Reason and recent billboards. She first explains her rather unique deconversion story. For the majority of the episode, we speak on several posts from her very successful blog and some of the incredible hate mail (and love mail!) we have so far received as a result of the billboards. Ashley’s fantastic posts compiling some of this mail can be found below.

Ashley's co-blogger is a third year student at Northwestern University who runs on coffee and snark. . At some point, she'd like to make people sit on couches and tell her about their feelings, but right now she writes in different places around the internet and makes silly faces when she doesn't know what to say.
