hey I wouldn't be offended...it would be anathema (?) to be offended. I haven't spotted the commercial element you're talking about but I'll look harder. I kind of got taken in by the Buddha's assertion that to talk about God and the invisible is (initially) pointless...the analogy being why if you're wounded by an arrow would you want to lie around asking who fired it, what is it made of, what did the archer have for breakfast etc etc...gotta get with removing the arrow (samasaric delusion) and the rest will just follow
