Hi there

Hi there
Hello. I've joined the forum about 3 weeks ago and i haven't had a proper chance to introduce myself.

My name is Tommy, i'm 32 and i live in Poland. I've been an atheist for 3-4 years now.
I guess i considered myself a believer before, but in general i was never a very religious person. I was forced to go to church as a kid, so i wasn't the biggest fan of Christianity. After seeing a couple of interviews and lectrures with Richard Dawkins i quickly realised that i share his skeptical way of thinking and that i am in fact an atheist.

I love music, basketball and french fries Big Grin I hope you'll enjoy some of my thoughts in awesome discussions you have here on the forum.

Have a wonderful day Smile

Hello Tommy and welcome to AF! ^_^
How refreshing to have another European east of the UK here, I was starting to feel kind of lonely! Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

"OMG ME TOO!!!" --Sarah Palin
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
