>in the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.
Is this why DFW killed himself? Because he lost the faith and become an atheist?

I couldn't say, but we've had at least a handful of anons in the strawpoll answer that they've read TPK before, so maybe one of them will answer. Honestly, I'm not expecting a whole lot in the way of discussion until reading gets underway. Part of me wanted to have a shorter time between initial info and starting to read, but a few people in the last thread mentioned things like exams and shipping times, so I feel like 2 weeks was the right choice.

Visibility bump. 9 more business days before the 17th if you're trying to get that Amazon no-rush shipping discount.

I think there must be probably different types of suicides. I'm not one of the self-hating ones. The type of like "I'm shit and the world'd be better off without poor me" type that says that but also imagines what everybody'll say at their funeral. I've met types like that on wards. Poor-me-I-hate-me-punish-me-come-to-my-funeral. Then they show you a 20 X 25 glossy of their dead cat. It's all self-pity bullshit. It's bullshit. I didn't have any special grudges. I didn't fail an exam or get dumped by anybody. All these types. Hurt themselves. I didn't want to especially hurt myself. Or like punish. I don't hate myself. I just wanted out. I didn't want to play anymore is all. I wanted to just stop being conscious. I'm a whole different type. I wanted to stop feeling this way. If I could have just put myself in a really long coma I would have done that. Or given myself shock I would have done that. Instead.
