Belief in God is rational. Everything has a cause. So unless there is a first cause, then you would have an infinite regress. And then nothing could exist. Therefore there must be a first cause. Therefore God, the first cause, exists. QED.

One of the most important lessons I gained from the teachings of Rav Nachman of Breslov is his approach to learning. This is the idea that all one needs in learning is to say the words in order ,and then to go on until the end of the book, and then to start over from the beginning. This was not the approach in Shar Yashuv of Reb Shelomo Freifed nor the Mir Yeshiva, however it helped me to at least find a balance between deep learning with lots of review on one hand, and ''bekiut''learning fast--saying the words one time in order and then going on. This helped me a lot in Gemara, Physics, and Mathematics, and I recommend this for anyone willing to listen. However, sadly enough, no one wants to listen. [They just think it makes no sense, and so forget about it, and end up learning nothing at all.] Even so, it has been my secret goal to convince others about the importance of this approach. I might mention that the Litvack Yeshiva World does have some awareness of the importance of fast learning, but that not the same as with Rav Nachman because they’re simply more engaged in going faster than in the morning, but they are still not doing anything even vaguely approaching the approach of simply saying the words and going on. [In the morning they learn in great intense depth, and in the afternoon they learn faster , but not fast. Simply ‘’faster’’ with Rashi and Tosphot.]
