Peter,
My misunderstanding then, as I did take it the parallel to your
Nigerian friend to refer to me. Actually, what made me (wrongly) make
that assumption was thinking that your story was referring to the
Buddha's charge that we should alleviate suffering in the world as
having been your responsibility to buy your friend a house. I'd argue
that is not what the Buddha had in mind (FYI, I make no claims of
expertise on Buddhism). But since I rushed to a faulty assumption,
let me apologize and hope we can write this off as no-harm, no-foul.

Arlo, you seem to take offence where none was intended or maybe you just

Probably I have not been clear enough or read your post thoroughly enough.
But you talked about that new brand of religion in America and that reminded
me of my Nigerian friend (not you personally).
I did not wish to make any insinuations. I did not have you in mind when I
wrote about my religious friend.
