Kristen Chase of Motherhood Uncensored will be interviewing Dale and I regarding the book, Parenting Beyond Belief, tonight. Follow the link to the interview site.

Our interview starts at 9:30 EST, but the actual show starts at 9pm with an interview of Julie from Mothergoosemouse. Julie is an atheist and some of you old-timers might remember her commenting on AgnosticMom.

You can call or email the host with comments or questions, so come prepared. If you can’t make it tonight, the show will be archived and you can listen to it at your convenience.

    Hi Noell, Just wanted you to know that I listened and you sounded great. Well done. Hope the book sells heaps! Found out that our local library here in Auckland has a copy on order.

    I just can’t thank you enough for your blog, your writing, your life work. I hope you know how important your openness is. I just found you two days ago by going link to link to link starting at Richard Dawkins’ site (I just started reading “The God Delusion”). Since then I’ve been devouring the posts from your archives. I only wish I could buy you a cup of coffee and talk to you for awhile.

    My background is similar to yours–except that I was brought up in the Assembly of God church. My parents are in ministry and I spent time at seminary. I really related to your accounts of spending hours in study and prayer. So to find myself an agnostic on her way to being an atheist is quiet a surprise to me.

    I mention all of this to explain why I am so happy to have found your website and how appreciative I am of your candor.

    And I’d love to hear more on how you balance your family’s beliefs with your own as your raise your children. My family has no idea where I stand because I know full well the pain it would cause them. I’m also not ready to be “re-saved” every time I see them. They will do everything they can to “save” my daughter in years to come (she’s only 9 months old now) and I just don’t know how to deal with it all. The posts you’ve had on this (that I’ve so far found) have been most helpful.

    Enough adoration! A million thanks.

    Noell!
    I love the new book! It is very enjoyable, even for a non-parent such as me. I ordered in another copy for the shelf at work. Oh, and I just discovered your scrapbooking blog. Love it!

    I’d like to interview you via e-mail for an article for our “Women in Free Thought” issue of the Atheist United Newsletter. How can I contact you? Please write me if you are interested, thanks!

    Hi Noell,
    I LOVE the book…you did a great job with your essay. I hope everything is OK with you. Hopefully, you’re having a great summer with your kids :)

    I live in Mesa. I am getting my EdM from SUNY with emphasis in Science and the Public. This is a fledling program linked closely with CFI (Center for Inquiry) and offered totally on-line. I enjoy reading Sam Harris, Dawkins, Kurtz, among others. I find them all elucidating, and reassuring. I thought I was alone in this town with regard to my beliefs. I am also the mother of two boys.

    My in-laws are VERY religious. Therein lies the conundrum. :-)

    I have pitched to Brain Child, and Literary Mama.
    I am relieved to know you are out there.

    Please, email me, perhaps coffee at some point.
