Welcome maxpsycho to HDF,
You mention you are an atheist. To insure I have my terms straight, this a + theist traces back to the Greek a+theos = godless, from a= not and theos = god ( some say gods). Compare this to the following:
In sanātana dharma, one may say nāstika or na+ astika नास्तिक or it is not so ; this does not always suggest the notion that the Lord is invalid, but the notion that the veda's are not the final say when it comes to truth. Perhaps you can comment on this and your orientation.
Your post offers the following:
- I'm an Atheist
- I thought
- I'm Mayank Sharma, 26 from London UK, and although
- I was born in a relatively moderate Arya Samaj Hindu Brahmin home,
- I relieved myself of the burden of faith, three years ago.
- I am here to see if there is something
- I might be able to contribute to the party, after all, we nastiks are also from a particular school of Hinduism.
May I ask, who do you believe this "I" is?
