Hey I'm new hear.

Hey I'm new hear.
Hellow every one. My name is Refael and I'm from Israel. There is two reason that I have decided to join to this site:

1. I am a "new" atheist" by definition. I mean, I was always suspicious about the existence of god but only eventually I decided to explore it more deeply and more seriously.
2. Like I mention I'm from Israel, and I want to improve my English by writing and reading. I red and consistently read books, but I want also express my feelings. So, give me the chance to do mistakes  Tongue .

About myself. I born as a Jewish and I went to religious school since first grade, I was a believer since I know myself. But, I think as a child you haven't the tools to deal with this. You absolutely must to rely on your parents/teachers/rabbis  Couse you haven't choice. lately I began to ask more questions and I didn't get any reasonable answers. So I started to see a videos from YouTube and red essays about science and so on. I red God delusion by Richard Dawkins, Why the evolution is true by A. Coine, The god isn't great by Hinche . Two month later I come with the conclusion that my environment deluded me.

Furthermore I love science and physics. I'm student for Electrical Engineering at TAU. 

Today, I think, I have enough knowledge to deal with god blievers, especially Jehova believers. Hopefully I will contribute my part to this forum.

thanks for listening.

Hello Refael!

What a wonderful story! Don't worry about your English, it's better than half the folks around here.

I really do hope you stick around. Our membership from your part of the world is small, and we're always happy to hear alternate viewpoints!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Hear, hear! Refael is here!

Welcome, from sunny Portugal!
Enjoy your stay.

I thought English was a second language to everyone in Israel... taught since 1st grade, understood by all.

RE: Hey I'm new hear.
Welcome! How old are you if I may ask?
Also, is there pressure on you from family and friends about your non belief?

PS. Tell us a funny Jewish joke if you can!

PPS, it hasn't ended well for anyone with the word "Truth" in their username so far! Maybe you'll be the first?
