firstly whitewolf buddha isn't a deity he is a man and i am hindu so can't comment on that. i dont know the buddhists Zenwind is talking about that found offense. are you offended Zenwind? Did you email?

i have heard of the dalia lama on apple mac adverts billboards which i did not like knowing about either. selling out perhaps again very disappointing.

eating a deity would be destroying the image though which is horrible to me.

i see what you mean blackhalk i guess freedom of speech means i can say i am offended if this is due to cultural issues then i guess i have to reflect on that. i do have cultural baggage i realise that.

peace

I didn't say that Buddha was a deity sweetsong... I merely mentioned Buddha because the site we are discussing has chocolate Buddhas. :)
You are entitled to your opinions sweetsong - no-one is saying that you aren't. This is a forum for everyone to write / discuss / read with an open mind.
For me, eating a deity would not be destroying the image - rather a taking in of part of that deity. It's all symbolism at the end of the day.
