I have occasion to be in front of a Buddhist Judge. His office is used to discuss cases and is a public place. He has the room decorated with Buddhist stuff and he has this budhist music and chanting on a CD playing softly in the background along with pictures with buddhist sayings on them and he's got his ying and yang stuff everyhwere. It is like entering into a buddhist temple to do business.
As a Christian I am not the least bit offended. I respect his right to decorate his office and his chambers in any way that suits him. I am also cognizant of the fact that I'd better not tell any Buddhist jokes in his presence. Not because I can't. But because I am smart enough not to.
