Thanks reza.
lol, don't worry I definitely don't find it offensive. I work in IT as a developer.
About this topic, I am Hindu and also have a firm interest in Hinduism, religions in general, history and to an extent mythology, hence I've read up on this quite a bit. That said, it's in my nature (also my profession) to always try and be objective and practial, so I'm constantly questioning the how and whys of cultural practices and traditions and rarely just follow traditions unless I understand why I'm doing it.
Recently, I've been learning more about String Theory, which is pretty interesting for those who have an interest in theoretical physics. It got me thinking in the realm of Science fiction as to whether concepts such as heaven and hell in various religions might be describing alternate dimensions lol. It's worth noting heaven and hell as described in Hinduism isn't quite the same as Christianity and heaven isn't essentially considered the "end goal".
