I became an atheist the Junior year of my spring semester in college My friend from back home moved into our already crowded two-bedroom apartment that now housed four (and five when Cathy would move in later that year) He was unyielding and used logic like a hammer or a martyr, and would hurl question after question across the four-foot gap between his mattress and mine It absolved me of any last remaining doubt There was a certainty that finally settled in that had been torn open during my freshman year over a course in Cultural Anthropology I am comfortable knowing that this is it There is so much more beauty in a life that also has d**h
