Given the interest in a meetup (sorry, I've been busy the last few days), I thought I'd go ahead and propose a meetup at Floyd's. I think we should meet there around 6:00 pm for dinner, and see where things go from there. Sorry for it being so soon, but my schedule is packed the next month, and I don't know how free my Saturday nights are. I'm pretty new to town, so it will hopefully be a great opportunity to see what Beaumont has to offer!

It is well written and worth publishing. Have a look at Sextus Empiricus who summed up the Pyrrhonian view on this pretty well with the regress argument:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sextus_Empiricus
Also, if you believe the mathematical systems to be axiom-based bullshit why all the mathematical handwaving? To lend it the appearance of authority?

Yes, you are. Apparently the concept of **context** eludes you. **I.E. --** This really belongs here in r/firstgradeproblems, not in r/AdviceAnimals. The pairing of content with a subreddit for which it is appropriate can add humor.
**Context : Humor :: Location : Real Estate**
Who gives a fuck anyway (besides you)?

I want to start working out at keating, and I don't live on campus, so I want to freshen up after working out. I was wondering if there are personal private showers in the facility (as opposed to public showers)?

In the middle of moving to Nanjing, hoping this subreddit kicks off, and wondering where people generally hang out while in Nanjing. I have seen a few foreign bars and such, but I am sure that this is not the center of attention for the 20 or 30 something Nanjingers to be in.

Many thanks to the kind folks of [/r/atheism](http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/ojle2/my_journey_to_atheism/) that pointed me to this subreddit.
Thought you guys might enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
A father being a clergyman leaves little doubt for how his children will grow up. I was one of those children, and much of my child life was spent in church. I grew up in Sunday School, participated in church events, and went to church every Sunday. To me, that's what all children experienced. Although I didn't have much say in the matter religiously, I was a happy kid and don't regret my time spent at church.
Most atheists talk about planting that initial seed of doubt in order to convert someone to Atheism. You can't be reasonable with a person whose life is not founded on reason. That initial seed of doubt came to me in college.
I was exposed to many general knowledge classes as part of the college's curriculum. The one that changed my mind the most was my class "Intro to Philosophy". In that class, the professor stated, "We're going to be studying proofs for the existence of God. My intent here isn't to prove or disprove God at all, but to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each argument and attempt to give them their fair shake."
Over the coming weeks we studied all of the proofs and every single one of them had issues. I was flabbergasted that my own faith didn't stand up to reason. Surely the professor had some bias and didn't give every argument a fair shake as he stated! What a hypocrite! In my resentment, I sought out everything I could about logic, epistemology, reason, and argumentation in an attempt to prove him wrong.
In my search for reason, I came upon one video that was earth shattering to me. [It was a video by QualiaSoup, a Youtube vlogger, that defended the snake of Genesis!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQBDGMj2h-c) Now imagine you've been told your whole life that something was evil, and here was a guy that sounded perfectly reasonable defending this evil spawn of Satan! This made me want to read even more about logical argumentation - obviously there was something I missed if a rational argument states the snake's position is reasonable and God is unjust. To this day I have not found a hole in QualiaSoup's logic.
Unsatisfied with reading the Bible alone and looking for a deeper purpose, I began reading books by top theologians of the past century - Karl Barth, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and the like. However, I found that greater depth of the Bible didn't make its believers or faith itself any more rational. I still had not come up with any proof of God that satisfied me.
Since my father had devoted his life to ministry, I figured he surely must have an answer that satisfied him so he might have an answer that satisfied me. I asked him why he believed. He said back when he was a teenager he saw Jesus himself in an extremely vivid dream, and in this dream Jesus called him to the ministry. It wasn't a calling he liked (he was into computers - a far more profitable career), but he believed so strongly in his calling that he went to seminary and graduated with a doctorate within six years. That's pretty powerful. But a life experience from a singular person is not a proof of God's existence, merely an experience that only applies to one person. Personal experience is faulty and subject to bias. I couldn't accept his dream as a proof for God.
Eventually, in 2011 after nearly two years of on and off research, I came to the conclusion that there was no sound, rational argument for God. Thus, I began to identify myself as an Atheist. It was a relief to come to that conclusion. I still feel weird about visiting Atheist websites or donating time or money to Atheist organizations (my upbringing classified these people as illogical and those that hate Christianity, thus donating time to them would be hurting my father). I imagine that will go away after a few more years.
I did eventually tell my parents. My father, as a minister, feels disappointed that he can't even convince his own son to believe in God. My mother is still a devout Christian and tolerates my disbelief, asserting that sometime in the future I might return to Christianity. Neither of them try to convert me, although my father will have friendly theological debates with me every now and then. Both of them quote [Revelation 3:15-16](http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+3%3A15-16&version=NIV) in regards to my disbelief. They would rather I be a "hot" Christian and believe than be a "lukewarm" Christian and only attend out of duty. It couldn't have gone better as far as I know.
To this day I have not found a solid proof for the existence of God, or even some sort of revelation from a God that it exists. I'm sure, though, if there were undeniable evidence I would believe. But until that time comes, I'll remain happy in the comfort that human reason is enough for me and that any God worth believing would at least make it rationally obvious to humans.

D&C 129 is an entire section devoted to distinguishing between an agent of God and an agent of Satan. Verse 7 makes it very clear that it is contrary to the order of heaven for a just man to deceive. Certainly any objective reading of the Bible makes it clear that God does not condone lying at all.
Yet we clearly have multiple cases of both Joseph Smith and Gordon B. Hinckley lying and deceiving. Joseph [lied many times](http://mormonthink.com/joseph-smith-polygamy.htm#lied) about his polygamy, even going so far as to [illegally destroy a printing press](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_joseph_smith) that was publicizing it, leading to his death at Carthage. Joseph [lied about the Kinderhook plates](http://mormonthink.com/kinderhookweb.htm#history), claiming to have translated a portion and that they contained a record of an ancient Jaredite.
Hinckley lied a number of times during his press tour. He [claimed that polygamy originated](http://www.onlineutah.com/polygamyhinckley.shtml) in the Mormon church when the church came West. He [said that the church's policy](http://www.mscbc.org/hinckley.htm) was to tell members about how tithing is spent. He [said he didn't know much](http://www.irr.org/mit/hinckley.html) about the 'God was once a man' doctrine, but had [taught it himself before](http://lds.org/ensign/1994/11/dont-drop-the-ball?lang=eng).
So the big question is, when is it okay to lie? Would God command these prophets to lie? Or did they sin? And if it was a sin, is that okay from a prophet? And how does one distinguish when a prophet is sinning and telling a lie from when he is telling the truth?

All the content so far has been Portland based, so I thought I'd add one of my all time favorites. [Oak Pond Brewery](http://www.oakpondbrewery.com) makes some amazing ales and lagers. They are located in Skowhegan, so the penetration into the southern market is limited. However their beer is amazing in my opinion. If anyone is ever in the Skowhegan neighborhood, you can buy growlers for 9.50 and have your empty growlers refilled for 5.50. Best deal in the state!

I disagree, the style is poor and the conclusions are basically empty and meaningless. In most of his sections, he doesn't actually really provide arguments, just appeals to emotion in the poorest of ways. Here's an example:
>First of all, when somebody starts the Solipsism Game with you (where they assert that they are all that exists and dare you to disprove them) whack them upside the head - not too hard now - and cry out ``Bullshit''13.13. Second of all, not disprovable or not, Solipsism is an ugly philosophy. We find people who live as if they were the center of all being ethically repugnant. We consider them to be narcissists, sociopaths, characterological people who want to be the center of all being and are hence incapable of love.
This is far too sloppy and empty to consider serious.

Walk at a slower pace - see the forest for the trees.
Eat slower - aid digestion and get a chance talk to your SO
Converse slower - give more than a word one answer and enjoy the conversation. Hit all your syllables instead of just blurting out your thoughts.
"Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.
Hello lamppost,
What cha knowing?
I've come to watch your flowers growing.
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo,
Feelin' groovy."

I'm a European player btw (Northrend on Battle.net)
Well I did of course start a long time ago on Battle.net before platforms and !sd etc.
However these are a few things I've learnt from the platforms I've played on.
Battle.net Random Host - These games are usually fun because people try out new things etc and no-one cares about stats or anything. Although a lot more leavers due to only being on local banlist which is rather pointless :)
Ghostgraz - GG has been around for a couple of years and I've even been an admin on that, It used to be amazing and I would say currently the best BNet platform around, there are players with high skill and there are a lot of admins to keep control of the games. HOWEVER - They have incorporated many rules (Such as leaving heroes alone near fountain area, you musn't backdoor AT ALL, you can't even have some banter without getting muted...) And it is unfortunately a Noob Friendly platform which means you can not kick players for being bad and going 0-10 with techies. However the staff do a good job on keeping it what it is and what they want it to be. Also with multi accounting if you get banned you can easily create another account which just cancels out the point of banning. No IP bans are in GG which is a shame...
DotaCash - Wow. SO bad. I played 3 games on there and got 45 kills and about 6 deaths... and I don't think anyone should play there... the skill level is just poor.
GhostDota - Kind of like Ghostgraz just a lot less time gone into it and not as much fun. However a lot less rules so freedom is much appreciated! It will be as good as GG in a few months I think.
DotaLicious - Now don't get me wrong, the games are a lot better with fewer leavers however most players there believe they are in fact DotaGods. I like the teamplay a lot more with supports buying wards and couriers every game but if ONE person on your team throws a wobbler it's almost impossible to win, because 9 times out of 10 you will need GOOD teamplay to win. I like the one account, the auto ban and tbh for high skilled players it is rather good fun. But The only bad thing about autoban is the fact that if your net goes down or anything like a power cut, you still get banned. VERY strict rules. Achievements are fun as well!
Garena... Sigh.. I played there for about a year a while back and I must say the "high level rooms" are trash. It really is a big bunch of wannabes who play there. The only notable game I can remember is being stomped on by ImbaQ and his cronies. He was awesome.
If I am honest... I enjoyed the times before Statsbots because now people will kick people for no reason and tbh admins abuse their rights. I wish it was a host and the host had no power in the game like it was a few years ago.
I fuckin' love DotA and have been playing for ages.
What are your views about the platforms you have tried?
Thanks for reading!

Very interesting read and a necessary step to avoid repeat offenders. Nobody can live on dirt and air alone, getting a decent living should motivate most people to stay out of prison. I view it as if you have something to lose, you are more likely to stay on the road.

Just thought I'd check to see if anyone in Maine and Reddit was actually using this or if it was just me. It's actually a nice way to keep track of what I've tried and *should* try based on my ratings.

Starting: Approximately 2 minutes of music per month
Goal: 16 minutes minimum of original music written in the next 40 days (12 minutes per month)
This is part one of my personal challenge to get me to writing at least 2 minutes of new music per day. I will post updates as I work on this.

I'm going to try to be cogent, but I've had difficulty explaining my question to others. I am also not a mathematician, and do not know if arbitrary means something in mathematics other than what I mean. Hopefully this will go well.
"Arbitrariness is a term given to choices and actions subject to individual will, judgment or preference, based solely upon an individual's opinion or discretion." - Wikipedia.
I've come to see that most words and concepts we create are completely arbitrary, and are made only because of their usefulness in understanding and communication.
An example: I designate this object as a "cup" because it is an arrangement of matter that is useful for me to drink with.
An example: I designate this object as a molecule because it is an arrangement of matter that is useful for me as a chemist.
A tire is basically one huge polymer and could technically be considered one molecule by a strict definition, but it isn't useful for me to think of a tire as one molecule and so I do not.
My question is: is mathematics like this? Not how we express mathematics, as it can be represented in multiple languages, but the relationships that mathematics allows us to determine.
Hopefully that made sense, and if anyone could point me in the direction of works that pertain to this, then I'd be much obliged.

I was reading through [part of Bob Black's *Anarchy After Leftism*](http://theanarchistlibrary.org/HTML/Bob_Black__Anarchy_after_Leftism.html#toc13) and loving his criticism of the connection between anarchism and Marxism. But then I got to him talking about anarcha-feminism. He just spends a few lines saying that all he's seen of anarcha-feminism leads him believe that it's more statist than anarchist, and that anarchism needs to ditch feminism if it hopes to move forward, then ends the book.
What the hell is that about?
Is he criticizing the idea that women are equal, criticizing its relevance in anarchy, or saying that anarcha-feminists want the state to enforce their ideas (similar to the criticism many people make of syndicalists who want the government to protect unions)?
I don't understand what his beef is, and I was wondering if someone might have some insight.

Not sure if I'm addressing the author or not, but I'll assume I am:
If mathematics is based on unprovable axioms subject to variation. And anything based on unprovable axioms subject to variation is bullshit. Then mathematics is bullshit. This is using your definitions (and of course assuming the rules of logic, language, definition, etc as my axioms).
Thus, spending several chapters playing up mathematical argument against axiomatic systems as opposed to delving into say history, biology, psychology, etc. - which according to your conclusions would all have equal merit and may be better at convincing those who don't understand or care to understand the mathematics - is what I would consider "hand waving" as by your own conclusions later the first section of the book amounts to nothing and gets us nowhere towards "truth". Thus, the only thing that is displayed is a bias towards mathematical argument as more convincing/worthy of consideration than other forms of argument, nothing more and nothing less.
I'm saying it this way not to stir up argument but just to be direct about the books apparent structural flaw. The conclusions don't appear to have been sufficiently thought through as they have implications for the structuring of the book itself as well as how individual sentences should be constructed so as not to appear to be making truth claims. That's why I recommended Sextus Empiricus as his book "Outlines of Pyrrhonism" is an excellent example of how this can be taken into consideration in the writing itself.

Didn't even make it to that section in my skimming, but that is a shining example of sophistry.
I think the basic idea of the book is worth restating for a modern, non-academic audience, as Sextus Empiricus is rather hard to find in Barnes and Noble. But this book definitely isn't the vehicle for it if this is its present form.

So my wife came home with some bananas. She doesn't like eating them right away so she picked up a bunch of three that were extra green. A week has past and they are still completely green. We were talking and we think she accidentally picked up some green plantains. So I'm a decent cook and don't want them to go to waste, what are some recipes that I can make with them?

The company I work for has many ex-cons working for them. Literally the only time we have problems with them is when cops show up pick someone up for probation violations. It's never something serious. I wish more companies would help get them back into the workforce because everyone notices they are working extra hard since they have been given a rare second chance. Or third, fourth, fifth chances for some of our workers. As long as they prove themselves, there's basically always a job waiting when they get back out.

Three things I am looking for.
1. Obviously people to moderate the posts (mostly sun category)
2. Someone who can reword the wall of text on the right to make it more clear and concise.
3. Anyone good at the stylesheet so we can make this place pretty.
I want to get all the details of this subreddit worked out before I start mentioning it on non-reddit sites. Also if you don't want to be a MODERATOR but you do have some good ideas for the subreddit please just post them below.

*(I originally submitted this under the Sun category, but it was removed. I have not changed the wording nor the original request below.)*
[Facsimile 3 on LDS.org](http://lds.org/scriptures/pgp/abr/fac-3?lang=eng)
* Object 2 is defined by Joseph Smith as 'King Pharaoh, whose name is given in the characters above his head.'
* The characters above actually read something like 'Isis the great the gods mother' when directly translated from Egyptian.
* All of the other figures are similarly misrepresented when what is printed on the page is translated from Egyptian. This is verified by numerous sources including studies performed by BYU.
I have never been able to get a straight answer about this. I am **not** asking why the Joseph Smith Papyri do not match the Book of Abraham, nor am I asking about the origins of the Book of Abraham itself. This discussion is about Facsimile 3 directly, what it says versus what it actually translates into as printed on the page.
I am aware I have marked this as a 'Sun' discussion. I am looking for the Church's angle, or response, to this Facsimile directly. I am looking for the faith-based response. With the LDS Church being a true restored gospel of Jesus Christ, how is the differing translation of Facsimile 3 explained?
Most missionaries and members are not even aware of the inaccuracies of the Facsimile enough to provide insight, and those that are aware will not discuss it with me. Bishops do not know, and I have not been able to find any quotes or statements by any church authority about this facsimile. I have looked and I have asked and I have dug and I cannot find anything. Even what documents from FARMS/FAIR I have been able to find do not discuss this detail. I have no where else to go.
I am genuinely trying to open a civil dialog with some people within the Church about the translation of Facsimile 3.

I recently got my 7d, a 50mm 1.4, a nice tripod, and a Pico Flex dolly and I've been traversing the city shooting stuff for a short I'm producing. Been having a lot of fun, besides it being so cold.
Anyone shooting? Gearing up for a project? Anyone need help on anything?

Yeah, I think if the author cut out the silly stuff, refined his writing and really honed in on his argument he would have something worth reading, for sure.

So I recently re-discovered Spacechem while successfully procrastinating from studying too hard.
To make the game look prettier, I changed the resolution to 1600x900 in the config file.
However, it looks like this now: [screenshot](http://i.imgur.com/uML3U.jpg)
Any help on using the whole screen?
Windowed mode and aspect ratio toggles in the options menu didn't change anything.

Okay guys, if you've never heard of these, they are the bestest things ever. On New Years Eve, I was in the city (Melbourne) for the fireworks, and I bought one of these, and it was THE BEST DAMN THING I'D EATEN FOR A WEEK. So if anyone could help, and share their knowledge with the world, it would be appreciated greatly. :)

I was born to a moderate christian family. My early years were actually quite pleasant and I don't recall that much turmoil in my life. However as time went on my parents slowly became just a shade more religious everyday.
At the age of 11 my parents started bringing me to a church they attended and pounded Jesus into me. I was slowly indoctrinated and eventually I became a bible thumping, scripture quoting, well you get the idea. They sent me to bible camps much like in the documentary 'Jesus Camp'. I can assure that what was shown actually takes place and I was there to experience it for six years. The indoctrination was complete. I was, at the time, totally turned off to the idea of differing views. If you weren't christian, you weren't somebody I associated with.
After some time, around age 19, I ran into a historical figure name Epicurus. I'm pretty sure you've heard of him, and even through there's all kinds of arguments against his famous quotes, he is what kick started my journey into skepticism. Despite my new found skepticism, I was always looking for answers that coincided with what I already believed, justifying any inconsistencies however I could. Eventually I ran into a fellow named Christopher Hitchens, I'm sure you've heard of him, at a debate my university was hosting at the time. I went to this debate (The God Debate) expecting him to get blown out of the water. He did not, as a matter of a fact he dominated that debate. His fluency in religion was astounding and his reasoning was superior. I immediately started questioning everything again but this time with an open mind.
The further along in my quest for knowledge (real knowledge) went, the more and more I started doubting. I started thinking 'it's ok to doubt, every christian does, I just need to keep the faith'. That's when it hit me... 'keep the faith'. What was faith? Why did I need it? Why was actually seeking truth outside the realm of God bad? My heart shuddered, my mind quickened. "What am I doing? There's nothing wrong about this? Why would they say that?" The questioned entered my mind faster than I could process answers and the hunt began. I tirelessly researched and examined everything I could about the bible, it's origins, about God, and about humanity. I did just as much self examination as I did research and after several months of painstaking labor I reached my conclusion.
There probably wasn't a god... let alone a personal one. All the guilt I carried from 'sin' melted away, my mind seemed free. It was very much a born again experience. It was if the majority of my life I was kept in prison and I just had escaped. I was overjoyed, I felt as if I had to tell someone. My parents whom I still lived with outside of school came to mind.
I remember the day as if it just happened. It was a cold but clear day, the wind softly blew. Walking into the house my parents were happy to see me, I often didn't visit on weekends so as to save gas. I must have been glowing or something because they immediately asked why I was so happy.
"Guess" I said.
"Did you get a raise?" my mother chimed?
"Nope, guess again."
"Did you get a new girlfriend?" my dad shouted from the kitchen.
"Wrong again, but I'll just tell you. Guys I became an atheist"
You'd have thought I just told them I murdered several children by the look on their faces. I could sense the tension growing, I immediately realized this was a mistake. The silence that hung over was broken by my father.
"A WHAT?!?!?!"
I managed a pitiful single word response that only seemed to intensify his rage. My mother soon joined him in the shouting. I've never heard such words and horrible things come out of my parents mouths before. Things like they failed me, raised me better, and were disappointed in me. This 'conversation' eventually got to a point where they both seemingly agreed they could no longer associate with me anymore. I was after all... an atheist. They ceased all funding of my education and kicked me out of the house, I never got my belongs back, but at least they donated them to charity rather than throwing them away.
Life wasn't easy after that day, I struggled with my job I still had and managed to find somebody to take me in, but I held firm. I wasn't going to let somebody elses actions alter the course that I thought mine should go. I managed to get back into school and finish my degree all the while expanding my knowledge of and reasoning of my atheism.
Now here I am, on this subreddit of [1] /r/atheism expanding my knowledge further. My wish is that everyone always has an insatiable hunger for knowledge and never stops exploring ideas different than their own. It's the ultimate quest in life, the quest for knowledge and it's one that is one of the most noble pursuits in life. At least that's my take on it.
**Tidbits of info**
The person who took me in was an old family friend who had since fell out of touch with the family, I stayed with him for several months before getting back onto my feet.
I still to this day have very little contact with my parents, we speak on the holidays but I've yet to see them in person since that fateful day.

Thank you. I kind of figured something like this existed, but I must not have been using the right terms on Google (searching reddit for articles has never been a huge problem for me. Searching for subreddits has always been a pain).

About three and a half months ago I started up a cardio program and a thorough stretching regime on the advice of many people, as well as [this article on aerobic fitness and fibromyalgia](http://www.spine-health.com/conditions/fibromyalgia/fibromyalgia-aerobic-fitness-fibromyalgia).
It was going great, my body felt fantastic! I had increased flexibility and energy, I was sleeping better, my mood leveled out completely, lost 25 pounds (and counting). But I've recently come home from a tropical vacation, so my sleep and diet were a little off. And today to contribute, we had drop in temperate and a huge snow fall.
My neck, shoulders, and jaw muscles all seized up, my hands stiffened up and I haven't been able to shake the tension headache. I've had little breaks in my emotional stability and feel depression setting in. This is the first flare up that's wiped me out and had me in bed for a day, since I started exercising. So, I'm a little scared. It feels like the fibro is rearing it's head, and I'm worried I won't be able to keep the pace I was, and keep the symptoms at bey anymore. It's depressing. I thought I was in a good place and today it's hit hard. It's almost like I forgot what it could be like.
I'm not sure if I just needed to vent, or if anyone else has had days, or gone through something like this.
**TL;DR I was fibro symptom free for three and a half months and having a hard time getting through a bad flare up.**

Someone started a new subreddit to go through it together - /r/photoclass2012 . You could probably catch up.
Reddit's search is improved since a couple years ago, but could use a bit more work. Some people use Google to search reddit by adding to the end of the search - "{search term} site:reddit.com" .

Oh yeah, it was a big improvement that came around in my early days. No real problems since searching for articles, but yeah, there's just so many subreddits it's hard to know what to search for.
Never know if it's going to be something simple or something stupid like "PhotographyLearning_Porn".

I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 2 years ago after a nasty bout of mono. Since then I feel a bit like it's gotten worse. I feel like exercise is hard because I am spent for days after and my muscles feel like they've been beaten with a stick. Sometimes my boyfriend will drum on my leg and I know he isn't doing it hard but it feel like even my skin is extra sensitive and the muscles underneath feel like they're being punched. I used to have a high pain tolerance but lately I feel like a big wuss with everything hurting. Can I expect this to get worse? What about the days when my brian can't put two and two together? Will that get worse too?
Currently I'm trying to get myself working out. It's a slow process since as described before it's been a rather painful start. My diet is terrible but all I want is carbs always. I've never craved a food so strongly before but I am trying to switch to more raw foods. I'm not taking any medications due to a history of building up tolerance and my only supplements are adult gummy vitamins. If you have suggestions on how to handle the moods, the stress, the pain, the sensitivity, and the brain function please let me know.

Last month I posted a request for redditors to rate all the SF Book Club book selections so far. I’d like to thank everyone for their input.
We were originally going to have a one-off survey for the 2011 books but have subsequently decided to rate **all** the books, keep the survey open in perpetuity, and give access to the [up-to-date and live results](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aixa04ajojo0dHJPNF9zWkFyYWVtVmRXU1JpcG1zOGc#gid=12).
We’ve created single book surveys for each and every book; this is to enable redditors who’ve already completed the full book survey to rate individual books as and when they read them (whether from our past selections or any new books we select in the future) and it should also make it easier for redditors who’ve only read one or two from the list.
----
As you can see from the sidebar the [**full survey**](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEtFM3lMZWhyeHVfbGFhQWt4dG90NGc6MQ), each **individual book survey** and the [**up-to-date survey results**](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aixa04ajojo0dHJPNF9zWkFyYWVtVmRXU1JpcG1zOGc#gid=12) can now be accessed at anytime.
*We will be taking out any ratings that are from invalid reddit usernames and will take out any ratings that are entered more than once for the same book from the same redditor.*
If you wish to view the graph and the survey data click on the following image (or the same image from the sidebar):
http://goo.gl/vM9hV
----
As of 19 January 2012 at 04:30 GMT the results are as follows *(I’m not including grass as it’s the present selection)*:
----
###General Survey Information###

----
###Diversity of Opinion
Although we’ve calculated Standard Deviation in the Final Survey Results spreadsheet and plotted this on the graph there may not be enough redditors who have taken the survey to make these results meaningful (although I’m not a statistician so I may be wrong).
If the standard deviation is zero then everyone taking the survey is in agreement as to the rating. The higher the standard deviation value, the more diverse the opinion i.e. higher values indicate less agreement.
* It seems from our results that the most diverse opinions (least agreement) about the ratings are for [**Ready Player One**](http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-One-Ernest-Cline/dp/030788743X) *by Ernest Cline* closely followed by [**The Windup Girl**](http://www.amazon.com/Windup-Girl-Paolo-Bacigalupi/dp/1597801585/) *by Paulo Bacigalupi* i.e. there were large differences in opinion about both these novels.
* It seems that the least diverse opinions (most agreed upon) were for [**Cloud Atlas**](http://www.amazon.com/Cloud-Atlas-Novel-David-Mitchell/dp/0375507256/) *by David Mitchell* closely followed by [**Blindsight**](http://www.amazon.com/Blindsight-Peter-Watts/dp/0765319640/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1326802007&sr=1-1) *by Peter Watts*, coincidentally also our first and second highest rated books respectively i.e. they both seem to have been universally liked.
---
###Conclusion
The top 3 picks based on these results:
* [**Cloud Atlas**](http://www.amazon.com/Cloud-Atlas-Novel-David-Mitchell/dp/0375507256/) *by David Mitchell* was our highest rated, most agreed upon yet one of our least widely read novels.
* [**Blindsight**](http://www.amazon.com/Blindsight-Peter-Watts/dp/0765319640/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1326802007&sr=1-1) *by Peter Watts* was our second highest rated and coincidentally our second most agreed upon novel (this is a short novel that can also be read for free [**here**](http://www.rifters.com/real/Blindsight.htm), so I'd recommend reading *and then rating* this book).
* [**A Fire Upon the Deep**](http://www.amazon.com/Fire-Upon-Deep-Zones-Thought/dp/0765329824/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1326802042&sr=1-1) *by Vernor Vinge* was our third highest rated, a widely agreed upon and also one of the most widely read novels.

Hello, Fibro.
I'm still not sure if I belong here. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was in high school after tests for JRA, lupus and lyme came back negative. At the time I didn't want to accept that fibromyalgia was a real diagnosis, and at that time there was a bigger stigma around the disease than there seems to be now.
Here I am almost ten years later, with a long and colorful history of strange and painful symptoms, syndromes and confusing test results. I started taking Cymbalta a month or so ago and I feel A LOT better, a lot more capable. In my mind, I wonder: is it treating anxiety, arthritis, fibro, or what? But it's working, and for that I am EXTREMELY grateful.
I also have IBS, and now, it seems, IC. IBS was easy to accept--lots of diarrhea, sometimes intestinal bleeding, but either way clear symptoms of "something wrong." I had an "episode" of debilitating abdominal pain with febrile chills a little over a month ago, and the ER docs found white blood cells in my urine. I also had an endoscopy and they found inflammation/gastritis. They also found white blood cells in my urine, but I've had four urine cultures and nothing has grown. Waiting on an STD panel before going ahead with a cystoscopy. Three different doctors have suggested interstitial cystisis.
What struck me when googling what the fuck IC was is this phrase: "Patients with interstitial cystitis have a high incidence of associated conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia."
Made me think about fibromyalgia again. So, do any of you have IC? Does my story sound familiar? Thanks for the support--whether I belong here or not, I hope you're all feeling well!

Presumably on the weekends. I've sailed mostly dinghys and Catalina 25s in the past, but I'd love to get out on the Sound more.

I realized that I really need to read some this stuff if I want to continue reading any Simone de Beauvoir and actually understand what she's saying.
So if any of you kind lovers of wisdom have any suggestions on where I should start I would love to hear it.

How can we tell that VEGF is allowing the SSRI's to operate more effectively, when it could just be that people with higher VEGF are more likely to experience natural remission of depression?

My story is a little more fucked up than religious confusion alone. But that’s life. Sorry if its an overshare, but it’s a relief to have a chance to speak up in one of the only places that accepts my beliefs.
When I was 7, someone decided that a moment of gratification for themselves was worth the rest of my life. I’m not sure if they thought of it that way in the moment, but that’s how it worked out. This attack had nothing to do with religion, nor do I blame my extremely religious parents for it happening. However, how I coped and how it affected me was a different story. I told one friend a few years older than me about this incident and she told me this was something I needed to keep to myself. I was already afraid to talk because of the threats he made, but she gave me a far more terrifying reason altogether. I had sinned. Girls were supposed to be virgins until marriage and now I was tainted. She showed me bible verses to prove it. She told me that when I got married, the man would be able to tell that I was not a virgin and he would leave me. I didn’t understand what had happened exactly to make me suddenly unworthy, so I brought up the subject of virginity to my mother. I wanted a definition. All hell broke loose. There was a lot of yelling and screaming and questioning about who influenced me to think about things that were inappropriate for my age. I told her that I read it in the bible and showed her the verse. This seemed to calm her down and she explained the logistics of an intact hymen and why blood was proof of virginity. Because girls will only bleed their first time. I remembered my attack and all the blood. It was official. It was like someone reached up in me and tore out my salvation. I was so ashamed. I assumed I must be to blame or else why would God say I deserved to be punished? I figured that my only hope was to never tell anyone else and pray for God to restore me.
Again, I was 7, and this fucked up way of thinking changed as I grew older and began to understand the concept of rape. Unfortunately, by then a lot of damage had been done. I spent years feeling guilty, confused, lost, rejected by God, and had developed symptoms of PTSD. My adolescence was a shit storm of dealing with “falling in love” and sexuality. My parents sent me to a private Seventh-Day Adventist school that constantly taught purity and virginity. I felt sick during every lecture. I went to bible camp, where I was told that a main reason for not having sex before marriage is because in doing so you are tainting that person and yourself for your future spouse. I became increasingly depressed and pushed myself sexually much further than I was comfortable with in hopes that I would snap out of it. When my parents saw that I was dating, they nearly pulled me out of school to send me to a religious all girls boarding school. They saw that I struggled emotionally and told me that I needed to be closer with God, and pray for him to make me whole. I remembered the last time I prayed to be whole again.
I started dating a guy who my parents deeply disapproved of. He was “not Godly” because he had tattoos. I was in love with him, though I found out soon enough he was not in love with me. I was 16 when I slept with him and a few months later I found out he was basically collecting me. I was one of numerous girls he was sleeping with that summer. I was a mark on a headboard. This was one of the darkest moments of my life. After everything I struggled with, I had shared one of the scariest, most intimate things with someone who could give a shit. I was something to be toyed with, used, and tossed aside. I began to internalize this as who I inevitably was. I would sleep all night and take a handful of Coricidin to keep sleeping all day. After snooping through my room, my parents found a letter revealing that I had slept with him. My mother told me God was punishing me. This was the result of fornication. I was a whore, and I deserved to feel this way.
My father was never this harsh. He kept quiet for a while and when he finally came to talk to me he said “I think I owe you an apology. I haven’t been there for you as much as I should have.” This was the first glimmer of hope after a lot of darkness. I wondered if maybe he would see passed the sins, and to all my pain and just sit for a while. Helping me feel unburdened by his quiet acceptance. What he said next may not seem like a big deal, but it planted, patted, and watered, the seed to my deconversion. He said “Everything you are going through, and everything you’ve done… I think I haven’t set the best example for you. Sometimes we turn on the TV on Friday nights, even though it is the Sabbath, and I think we need to go back to our roots and stay firm on things like that. Maybe if we had kept doing our Friday night devotional at sunset this would not have spun out of control like this.” Everything I’d been through (granted they didn’t know the half of it) all that suffering… in that one moment, to my father, it boiled down to watching “Friends” on Sabbath after sunset. Since I could walk, they told me I couldn’t dance, I couldn’t dress up on Halloween, I couldn’t paint my nails with girls at school, I couldn’t accept friendship bracelets because jewelry was evil, I couldn’t read fantasy books, I couldn’t watch fantasy on TV, I had to soak my loony toons erasers and scrub off the Tasmanian devil sticker because his name had “devil” in it…and now my life, my dignity, my mental health was spinning out of control and he was talking about television on Sabbath. “Seriously. Fuck you.” This is all I could think. After that I was much more open to leaving all the indoctrination behind and letting myself breath. Now, I’m atheist and feeling 10x lighter. I’m a member of an online support group, which is constantly alluding to God’s presence in healing. I needed to get the fuck out of there. Thanks r/atheism, for listening, and even if you didn’t (since this is way too long), thanks for existing. Its more than can be said for God.
