- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

My first computer was also a Z80, but my computer happens to have 1GB, so I'm right on target. (no, I don't need more ram on the computer on my desk, all of my hard-core processing is done elsewhere).
This reminded me that I haven't gotten around to swapping out the other 4gb card for the 16gb card, which will bring me to 32...

But that option's not missing - it's the 2nd last one.
Do they mean the first one I owned, or the first one I controlled (at work)?
If it's the first one I owned, then I'm only at the 10,000+ level. I had a PC-clone with 640KB, now I have two laptops with 16GB each, or 25,000 times as much, one at home and the other at work.
If it's the first one I controlled, then I'm at the 1,000,000+ level. It was a PDP-8 with 4K of 12-bit words (=6KB), so the current stuff is 2,600,000 times as much.

Eh, works well enough. I went from 640kB to 12GB, so closer to 20,000 times more than before and I chose the 10,000 times more entry accordingly.
Mine was a ZX-81 with 1KB RAM and my current one has 8388608 times more RAM. (The numbers given in the alternatives really suck.)
My first computer was also a ZX-81 Timex Sinclair with 1k of memory, I was always writing BASIC programs that filled that up so I spent $70 on a 16k RAM Pack, then I had unlimited memory.
When I got my SECOND computer, (a TRS-80), I got the 4K model, because the 16K model (12K RAM was the only difference) was $300 more money (IIRC), and 4K was all I could conceivable use (at the time).
Of course, even before that processor was outdated I was filling up 4K regularly. - SO I made extensive use of the cassette-tape backup.
Imagine if memory was still 2.5 cents per byte.
The other difference between the 4k TRS-80 and the 16k one (apart from the RAM, and the price) was that the bigger one came with a better BASIC:
TRS-80 Model 1 level 1 (4k)
TRS-80 Model 1 Level 2 (16k)
Not having to de-code the ultra-short keywords made for much more readable progams.
I had the same machine, as my first. I believe it had 2k of RAM though.
Also remember that accessing that massive 16k of RAM slowed the machine down quite a lot.
I so wanted one of those... a Spectrum seemed too much to wish for.
In the end my VIC-20 had 3K.
I've had this signature for a while:
My Vic-20 had 3.5K of RAM
The 16K cartridge was a standard extra piece on the ZX-81 system, along with your tape cassette recorder and your TV. People assumed if you didn't have the 16K cartridge, you must be a little kid or an initial customer still getting a good feedback from the keyboard. (Or a later customer, wanting to feel the keyboard feedback from his raw device again.) The cartridges were so standard that anyone with 1K or a third party 32K or 64K RAM pack was beset with incompatibility issues.

I find it odd that powers of 10 were chosen instead of powers of 2. Nearly all memory multiples would be powers of 2, and certainly very few would be powers of 10.
Exactness would require too many options, you'd need 2^7, personally I'd need 2^18 and another comment here was 2^24 - all 25 from 2^0 and maybe beyond would be right for some. I think there's a limit of seven-eight poll options, so you'd have to do approximations anyway. I went with 100000, too bad I didn't go for an 8x8GB X79 board or I could have picked the real dinosaur option.
It doesn't even say "greater than", and the chance of having an exact decimal multiple of your original computer is pretty slim. The whole thing is half-arsed, but it wouldn't be a Slashdot poll if it were competent. I'm not complaining, moaning about the options is part of the fun.
2^10 = 1024 which is pretty close to 10^3. You can use that approximation to ballpark figures in the base-10 that most people understand.
2^10 ~= 10^3 = a thousand = k
2^20 ~= 10^6 = a million = M
2^30 ~= 10^9 = a billion = G.

And if my dad posted to slashdot it'd be "If your computer was made with transistors, you're not old". Vacuum tubes FTW.
How old were you when you got that first computer, because that's not that old? My first was similar; 540 MB HDD, 4 MB RAM, 486 DX2/66, and I'm 30.
That looks surprising like one of the computers I owned, I upped the ram to a massive 8MB.
The second computer I had was the first with a hard drive (40MB!), and I'm not old...
I remember those 40 MB hard disks. That was around the time Stacker and Doublespace were successful.
AND, when Drive Partitioning became a thing... Since most BIOS's wouldn't recognize more than 32MB. - Not that an RFM drive could pass that much data in a reasonable amount of time.
"A few crumbs" of memory on the HP. You could access and modify it with light switches on the front panel. So you could mess with the time-sharing BASIC on it, and replace the save with the scratch command, for when the teacher went on it.
32Gig on the SchtinkPad. I'm not going to fish through all that memory.

Maybe throw in something to reflect parents' occupations. But by then it starts looking like the IEEE salary curve-fit model, which IIRC had about eleventy-thousand variables.

TI 99/4A had 16KB, for those of you who don't remember.
Wasn't it actually 256 Bytes on-board. The 16/32KB was from the expansion brick plugged into the side. That's how our parents enforced time limitations on our video games. If it was getting too hot, you had played enough for one day.
My recollection is that the base model TI 99/4A had 16KB built in, but it was actually video memory. The CPU had none, or only a small amount (256 bytes sounds about right). To run software stored in the video memory the CPU had to continually make requests to the video chip to transfer data from the video memory.
The memory expansion modules that plugged into the side of the console connected to the CPU's memory bus. I heard that BASIC programs and other software ran a lot faster if you had a memory e

As a kid, I had a Tomy Tutor, which, according to Wikipedia, was similar to a TI-99/4A, which had 256 bytes of RAM -- one-quarter of a kilobyte. So 8GB, times 1024 MB per GB, times 1024 kB per MB, divided by one-quarter, equals... about 32 million times more?

I'm not getting something, and I hope you folks can straighten me out.
The Holy Trinity of Bogle-ism seems to be Asset Allocation, Rebalancing, and Asset Location. I've read the wiki on Asset Location, and understand the advantage of stuffing tax inefficient investments into an IRA.
What I don't get is this: If you have a tax-advantaged account stuffed with only tax inefficient investments(let's say it's VBMFX), and a taxable account full of only tax efficient investments(call it VTSMX), ..... how can you re-balance? Doesn't that get messy? Is it even possible?
I've read threads here where some folks admit they have TSM in a Roth IRA, then they get blasted by the group (well, mildly chided, anyway) for having Total Stock Market in a tax-advantaged account. My take-away from these types of threads (and maybe this is my mistake), is that some of the true Bogleheads have nothing but FI investments in their IRA's.
As an example: Taxable account A is all TSM, and 70% of a portfoilio. IRA account B is all Total Bond Market, and 30% of a portfolio. If stocks fall 20% and bonds go up 5%, you now have a 64/36 AA. How do you rebalance that?
I don't get it. What am I missing?

This type of pill helps treat insulin resistance. With insulin resistance, your body doesn't use insulin the way it should. Thiazolidinediones help your insulin work properly. Then your blood glucose levels stay on target and your cells get the energy they need.
Who should not take this type of pill?
People with heart failure, also called congestive heart failure, should not take this type of pill.
This type of pill can cause heart failure or make it worse.
Heart failure is a condition in which your heart no longer pumps properly. Then your body keeps too much fluid in your legs, ankles, and lungs.
Call your doctor right away if you have signs of heart failure. Warning signs include
- having swelling in your legs or ankles
- gaining a lot of weight in a short time
- having trouble breathing
- having a cough
- being very tired
People being treated for bladder cancer should not take Actos or combination pills containing pioglitazone.
If you have a history of bladder cancer and are taking Actos, talk with your doctor.
You should also talk with your doctor about whether to take this type of pill if
- you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or breastfeeding
- you have liver disease
What are the possible side effects?
Heart failure is a serious side effect.
Bladder cancer may be more likely to occur in people who take Actos for more than 1 year. Call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of bladder cancer while taking Actos:
- pink, red, or cola-colored urine, indicating the presence of blood
- an urgent need to urinate or pain while urinating
- pain in your back or lower abdomen
This type of pill doesn't cause low blood glucose by itself. But your risk of having low blood glucose goes up if you also take
- diabetes pills that cause low blood glucose
- insulin
Your doctor may ask you to take a lower dose of your other diabetes medicines while you take this type of pill.
Other possible side effects are
- anemia (uh-NEE-mee-uh), a condition that can make you feel very tired
- an increased risk of getting pregnant even if you're taking birth control pills
Women who take Actos, Avandia, or combination diabetes pills containing pioglitazone or rosiglitazone may have an increased risk of bone fractures.
If you take Actos or Avandia, your health care provider should make sure your liver is working properly. Call your doctor right away if you have any signs of liver disease: nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, dark-colored urine, or loss of appetite.

If I had to pick only one thing I really love about the iPhone, it's the camera. I can document my entire life and the world around me in clear, crisp quality with just the iPhone. Many accessories are out there that utilize the camera however, Scalar Japan has upped the ante of lens accessories by developing a lens that converts any household iPhone into a portable microscope.

Baseball Out-Hits #19 UNCP 15-12, but Come Up Short 11-7
March 17, 2010
PEMBROKE, N.C. UNCP scored 11 runs on 12 hits to snap an offensive lull and rode an effective relief performance by Rudy Brown to an 11-7 victory over visiting Pfeiffer Wednesday evening at Sammy Cox Field. The 19th-ranked Braves improve to 18-4 overall while the Falcons dip to 13-17.
Jason Coker singled, doubled and scored three times on a 2-for-3 plate performance to pace a quartet of Braves (18-4) with multi-hit tallies on the night. Sophomore Alex Pearce drove in a trio of runs on a 2-for-4 hitting line, with Joe Mangum and Tom Porricelli booking two hits as well. Will Davis and Eric Shoemaker each turned in three hits for the Falcons (13-17) who fell to 10-12-1 all-time against the Braves.
Brown (3-1) struck out five and allowed just a pair of runs in three innings from the mound to grab the victory for the Braves who also got three or multi-strikeout efforts from starter Andrew MacDonald and closer Brian Willis. Eric Shuford (3-3) took the loss for Pfeiffer after surrendering nine hits and nine runs (eight earned) in four innings of work.
Pfeiffer grabbed the early lead on a two-out RBI single from Aarin Sharpe in the top of the second, but the Braves rallied for three runs in the bottom of the frame, and then pushed their lead out to 5-1 with two more scores in the third. The Falcons whittled away at their deficit with two runs in each of the fourth and fifth frames, but UNCP put the game away with three runs in the home half of the fifth inning before adding a pair of insurance runs in the sixth.

Man who helped homeport happen dies
Courtesy Photo
Marina designer John Olsen, pictured here in 1966, an engineer with Reid Middleton, Inc., was involved in the homeport siting study that brought the U.S. Navy to Everett. He pushed for the Everett location and created the design for ship facilities at Naval Station Everett.

Marina designer John Olsen, an engineer with Reid Middleton, Inc., was involved in the homeport siting study that brought the U.S. Navy to Everett. He pushed for the Everett location and created the design for ship facilities at Naval Station Everett.
It was 1982, not long after U.S. Sen. Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson first publicly let on that the Navy had plans to homeport ships in Puget Sound. Jackson, a Democrat from Everett, shared that news in a 1981 speech to the Pacific Northwest Waterways Association, according to a 1995 edition of the Shipping News Daily.
By 1982, the Navy had commissioned a technical study to review potential sites for a base. John Olsen was part of that study team.
A civil engineer, Olsen was executive vice president at Reid Middleton, Inc. The Everett engineering and planning firm was then based in Edmonds. With expertise in marina design, Olsen's role in the study was to analyze water-side and upland aspects of the Navy base sites.
In Olsen's mind, the list was missing the best place -- Everett.
Working with the Port of Everett's commissioners at the time, Olsen made sure Everett became part of the study. Today, Naval Station Everett stands as a testament to a man who knew waterfront engineering and saw a new future for Snohomish County.
Olsen died May 7 as a result of congestive heart failure. He was 79.
His work took him from the state Department of Transportation, where he played a part in designing I-5 in the 1960s, to his career capstone, designing ship facilities for Naval Station Everett.
"That for sure was the biggest feather in his cap," said Kris Olsen, the eldest of Olsen's three children. "Dad being such a specialist in that field, he looked at all the sites and decided Everett was where they needed to be."
John Olsen's name may be unfamiliar, but his unsung influence on our region was profound.
"He's really well known for marinas," said Shannon Kinsella, an engineer and waterfront group director at Reid Middleton. She has been at the firm 23 years, and worked with Olsen for a decade before he retired in 1997.
Olsen, she said, was the lead designer for the Port of Everett Marina, the Port of Edmonds Marina, John Wayne Marina in Sequim and the Des Moines Marina. "All those marinas, he did them from scratch," Kinsella said. The design work involves creating breakwater protection, designing docks and shore features.
Kris Olsen works for the city of Lynnwood, where in the 1960s his father was the first city engineer. John Olsen raised his family in Lynnwood, but grew up in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. His parents were Norwegian immigrants.
John Olsen had wanted to follow in his father's footsteps as a commercial fisherman, but Kris Olsen said his dad had back problems when he was young. After graduating from Ballard High School, he earned a degree in civil engineering from the University of Washington.
Kris Olsen recalled his father working on the Navy study. "I remember one day he was getting ready to fly somewhere. Unless he was going to Norway, he didn't travel much, but he was going to San Diego," Olsen said. "I asked him why. He said he was meeting with the secretary of the Navy. It was John Lehman. Even as a young kid, I knew that was a pretty big deal."
Olsen said the best summer he ever had was the year he was about 13. His father invited him along while he did design work for a marina in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. Reid Middleton had an old wooden Chris-Craft boat that they lived on for the summer. "During the day, Dad would do what he did and I would spend the day running up and down the docks and fishing," Olsen said. "I will never forget that summer, just me and my dad."
John Olsen is survived by his wife, Sandra; sons, Kris and Doug; and daughter, Karen. In his later years, he spent much time at the family's home at Lake McMurray near Mount Vernon. Doug Olsen works for Reid Middleton. The firm marks its 60th anniversary this year.
"He was just very sweet, he had this mischievous grin. He liked to tell Norwegian jokes," Kinsella said. He was also very good at his profession.
"We'd be working on something for weeks. He'd take 10 or 15 minutes and say, 'Oh, did you think about this?'" Kinsella said. Olsen's wisdom soon became obvious to those who had studied a problem for months.
"If there's a marina anywhere in Puget Sound, I think his fingerprints are on it," Kris Olsen said. "He was such a humble man, you would never know he had anything to do with any of it."
A celebration of life for John Olsen will be held 1-4 p.m. today at Sons of Norway Leif Erickson Lodge, 2245 NW 57th St., Seattle.

|Introduction | Nikon Coolpix P7700 sensor performance | Nikon Coolpix P7700 versus competition | Conclusion
In DxO Mark's testing the Nikon Coolpix P7700 does very well. It does not beat all comers but what it does do, very convincingly, is to beat everything that might reasonably be compared to it. With an overall score of 53 the Coolpix is beaten by only 5 other cameras, all of which are significantly more expensive. Of the other 5 cameras two have a fixed focal length lenses, one has interchangeable lenses and the other two have lenses with much less zoom range. A wide zoom range does not make a camera good but if you want a camera to carry around all the time then it is very useful.
The individual scores are, for Portrait: 21.1 bits of colour depth, for Landscape: 11.1 Evs of dynamic range and for Sport: 191ISO. These are really impressive scores and place the Coolpix 7700 right at the very top of the remaining cameras in the high end compact class. For Dynamic range it is actually 4th over all.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website
The Canon PowerShot G15 and Nikon Coolpix P7700 are two cameras with a long lineage (with the Nikon's being a bit harder to follow). The Canon PowerShot G-series and Nikon's competitive offerings have gone through numerous variations over the years, but haven't strayed far from the original design philosophy: a fast lens, manual controls, and expandability via system accessories. The thing that's changed the most has been how you compose photos. For a long time, both the G and P-series cameras tended to offer optical viewfinders and articulating LCDs. On these latest models, the G15 lost the flip-out/rotating LCD but retains the optical viewfinder, while the P7700 sports only an articulating display and has shed its viewfinder.

Women's Cross Country Pegged to Finish Seventh in Preseason Poll
August 30, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - The Pfeiffer University women's cross country team was pegged to finish seventh in the Conference Carolinas, the league announced on Friday afternoon. The Lady Falcons return eight runners from a season ago and are looking to climb the conference standings.
The team struggled with injuries in 2012, losing their top three runners at various parts of the season. However, Pfeiffer returns its top four runners, including junior captain Justine Serje, as the team looks to compete to get into the top half of the conference standings.
Sophomores Alex Crouch, Trista Byers, and Janna Featherstone will be relied upon to help carry the load after gaining a year of experience at the collegiate level.
"We have a good group," said Head Coach Scott Nolt. "We are going to rely on our returning runners but have a solid group of newcomers as well. I have been happy with what I have seen so far and am excited for the season to begin."
King University was picked to finish first in the pre-season polls and is coming off one of its most successful seasons in school history. King will look to defend its Conference Carolinas title after winning the program's first conference championship in 2012.
Mount Olive College was voted second in the pre-season poll after their second place finish in 2012, improving over the previous year's third-place finish. The Trojans return four top-30 finishers, including an all-conference selection
Completing the top three, the Belmont Abbey women's cross country team will look to take a big step forward from last year's efforts, in which only two runners had ever competed in a collegiate race prior to last season.
The pre-season polls are completed with Barton, Erskine, Converse, Pfeiffer, North Greenville, Lees-McRae, and Limestone respectively.
Conference Carolinas Men's Cross Country Pre-Season Poll (# of First Place Votes in Parenthesis)
King 79 (7)
Mount Olive 74 (2)
Belmont Abbey 60 (1)
Barton 55
Erskine 45
Converse 41
Pfeiffer 27
North Greenville 25
Lees-McRae 23

Delilah, the most-listened-to-woman on radio in the
Her distinctive blend of story-telling, sympathetic listening and encouragement -- all scored with adult contemporary soft rock -- makes her top ranked in most markets among women 25-54.
As a single mother of 10 children, seven of whom she adopted, Delilah has established a foundation called Point Hope as a voice for forgotten children everywhere. The immediate focus of the Foundation is on refugee children in
In addition to a passion for children and radio, Delilah is devoted to music because "it touches the heart the way nothing else can." Her father had a Country-Western band, and her brother played in a Jazz band. Though she writes lyrics, she cannot sing. Delilah says, "I always wanted to be a performer, but I can't sing, dance or act. Luckily, I found I could talk!"
Delilah, loves her work "because it has allowed me to bring together a distinct community of people who reach out to help one another. We don't try to fix people. We listen. We sympathize. We empathize. If the show has a message, it's listen to your own gut. Trust your own intuition. Go where it leads. Don't give up."
Daily broadcasts, caring for her children, running a foundation, writing books, traveling and public speaking add up to a very busy life for Delilah. And she wouldn't have it any other way.
You can send a dedication to Delilah at firstname.lastname@example.com and visit her official website at Delilah.com.

#3 Bobcats Finish Off Weekend Sweep of Falcon Baseball with 5-2 Win in Series Finale
February 20, 2011
MILLEDGEVILLE, G.A. A pair of errors midway through Sunday afternoons series finale by Pfeiffer University proved costly as third-ranked Georgia College and State completed the weekend sweep with a 5-2 win over the Falcons. The Bobcats scored their fifth-straight win improving to 8-2 overall while the Falcons dip to 5-7.
After a single run in the first and second innings put the host Bobcats up 2-0, Pfeiffer squared the contest and showed signs of life with two in the top half of the third. Jacob Yates started the frame with a single to right and later moved to second on a GCSU balk. Preston Lyon continued his weekend hitting at the plate with a double to right-center to bring home Yates. After Lyon moved to third on a Bobcat error, Eric Shoemaker would plate Lyon with the tying run on a base hit to left.
Georgia College and State used three-straight base hits to open up their fifth before scoring the go ahead run on the first Falcon miscue. In the sixth, a leadoff double, sacrifice bunt and a mishandled glove at first led to the two-run sixth.
Pfeiffer will now look to snap its three-game skid on Tuesday returning home for a 2:00 p.m. matchup with Tusculum. The Pioneers scored a 20-11 season-opening win over the Falcons back on February 5th. Live stats and live audio will be available through www.gofalconsports.com.

Is this the Twilight Zone? Who is actually running the flagship franchise of the NBA?
On ESPN this morning I heard them say that jimmy didn't vet Mike Brown and that he rushed into hiring him because Golden State was about to hire him.
Assuming that is true, then jimmy's hiring process with Brown would be consistent with a one phone call interview.
I'm not going to dump on jimmy, though I want to, but I will say that ever since he was announced as having power over the Lakers back in, I believe, 2003 and starting with the Rudy T. hire, mention of his name in Laker decisions usually is accompanied by a feeling of discomfort and uncertainty.

OXFORD, Ohio – The Miami University softball team suffered a tough doubleheader sweep at the hands of Kent State on Friday. The Golden Flashes won the opener, 2-0. They then scored two runs in the top of the seventh to take a 3-2 victory in the nightcap. Miami falls to 11-9 in Mid-American Conference play, 18-31 overall. Kent State improves to 15-5 in the MAC and 26-18-1 overall.
Jenna Modic allowed only single runs in the top of the first and top of the second innings in the opener. She gave up two earned runs on nine hits in six innings of work, striking out three.
Miami got base runners in every inning except the seventh off starter Emma Johnson, even though she held the RedHawks to one hit. It came in the bottom of the first with Tiyona Marshall on second base and two outs. Modic singled to left field, and the speedy Marshall rounded third and attempted to score. A great throw from left fielder Dani Ramos was in time to retire Marshall. Johnson would strike out a total of six batters on the way to throwing the shutout.
Megan Mattera was on target for the RedHawks in the nightcap. She allowed only one unearned run in the top of the fourth. She gave up three hits in 5.2 innings pitched, while striking out three.
Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Miami finally broke through on Johnson. Mattera led off with a single through the left side. Shanyn McIntyre attempted to put down a sacrifice bunt, but the Kent State third baseman attempted to throw out the lead runner. Mattera was safe and the RedHawks had runners on first and second with no one out. A sacrifice bunt by Kylie McChesney moved both runners up a base. Kristy Arbour followed with an infield single that loaded the bases with one out. Taylor Shuey then hit a grounder to the shortstop. The shortstop threw the ball away attempting to get the force out at home, allowing Mattera and McIntyre to score and give Miami a 2-1 lead.
It remained that way until the top of the seventh inning. A walk, a bunt and a double down the left field line brought home the tying run and put runners on second and third with no one out. Modic came into the game and retired the next two before issuing a walk to load the bases. Lauren Grimes followed with a grounder to the left side of the infield. Reed attempted to get the force out at home, but the runner was called safe giving the Golden Flashes a 3-2 lead. Johnson retired Miami in order in the bottom of the seventh to secure the victory.
Marshall finished the nightcap 3-for-4. McIntyre was 2-for-3 with one run scored.
The RedHawks return to action on Saturday when they host Buffalo at 2 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription.

This will be a long post, but please read the whole thing if you wish to comment:
My Fiancee (Who I will refer to as J) and I have been together for 3.5 years and just recently got engaged. We actually broke up about 2 months ago and got back together 2 weeks later. It was a trying time for us, but a lot of stuff came out of it that ended up making our relationship stronger. It was especially hard on her, since she had been divorced once and has always had a deep fear of being alone. So when we broke up she was very torn up emotionally.
Right before we broke up, when we were drifting apart, she made friends with a christian guy (we will call him E). And when we broke up she started going to church with him, reading these nonsense christian books he gave her, and listening to christian music. I am an Atheist, have been since I was a young boy, even though I was brought up lutheran. She was raised strict catholic, but had a mostly emotional rejection to it when she was a teenager. Our whole relationship she always said that she believed in some higher power, but thought religion didn't make sense. And I could respect that, but I would never consider marrying a christian (or any religious person).
When we got back together she said she was interested in exploring her spirituality, and thinking of learning about eastern philosophies, like Buddhism and such. I was not happy about it, but it didn't bother me too much. I even went and bought some books on meditation so that we could do it together. But as soon as we got back together she started getting into the christian thing.
I want to say that I don't think there is anything going on with her and E, that is not what this is about. It is about that he is super religious, and she is in a weak state right now, and she is being sucked into the empty promises of religion. And I am afraid that if this goes too far she will never come to her senses.
So E was actually her personal trainer, and then they became friends. She has gone to church with him several times, it is a little non-denominational one with like 50 people, I think it is the kind of crazy kind from what I can gather. She has been reading these books that tell her (from what I gather from reading the back covers) to look for god for comfort and answers in your life. And he has been getting her into christian music, and christian movies.
Other than this our relationship is really good, hence the recent engagement. Anytime I bring up this subject she gets really defensive. She doesn't like to talk about it at all. WHen I ask her why she goes, she only says "because it makes me feel good". I ask her if she really believes the stuff they are saying, and she says, not literally.And I have never even met E. She says she is anxious for me to meet him because she thinks I will be mean. I have never been mean to anyone she know who is religious (most of her family is), and on top of that I am not a mean person at all, but I am very critical of religion. I have told her that I am very uncomfortable with her going to church at all, especially with some other guy who I have never met.
So I have been trying to take it slow and easy. I suggested a couple weeks ago that I wanted to meet him and go with her to this church, just to see what it was all about since it was so important to her. She got really defensive and said she didn't want me there becuase she would not feel "open to the experience" with me there, because I am an Atheist. That made me feel even more suspicious about this place. Once I convinced her to let me go she said that I should meet E before I go to his church, but now she seems to be delaying having us meet, and still not wanting me to go to this church with her. I know it is because I have always been the voice of reason in the relationship, and I think she will feel embarrassed or uncomfortable with me being there, because I think even she knows deep down that most of it is BS.
So I was wondering if anybody else has gone though something similar, how they dealt with it, what advice they might have. Right now I am sticking to my "kill them with kindness" approach. But I have also considered telling her that no children of mine will ever go to church, which is true, and since we want to have kids, would be kind of an ultimatum. I have even considered going to E and telling him I will get him fired for his relationship with her (which he would be if his work found out)if he doesn't break off the friendship.
