Every nonbeliever’s home that I’ve ever been in seems to feature the following:
- a small library of books on all subjects;
- houseplants vigorous enough to acquire personalities of their own; and
- one or more cats.

My cats ate all the houseplants and some of the books. It’s really hard to be an atheist sometimes.

How can I atheify the place?

(Not roommate-less). My roommate is also an atheist so needless to say, we're going to have the biggest baby feast you've ever seen. Baby in the morning, Baby in the evening, Baby at supper time. When baby is on a bagel you can have babies anytime!! That’s funny because next week I’m moving into my first apartment. (Not roommate-less).
