Hey krish, welcome to Nirmukta.
The thing about Hinduism, as many of us realize, is that it is simply a retelling of our common culture in divisive and often superstitious terms. Your commitment to open-source is very much in line with what my personal ideals are about.

Thanks for the welcome. I am still a newbie when it comes to finding the flaw in mumbo-jumbo Hindu philosophy arguments offered by sophisticated Hindu apologists. I guess it is a matter of reading articles and participating in Nirmukta.

Welcome. Good to hear that a school teacher had that influence on your, it's a reminder of just how important (good) education is.
