- asdsa5325 8y ago> It’s like an insurance company calling itself “Gospel” Is that offensive? Doesn't seem like it to me.
- integration 8y agoDoes “disrespectful” instead of “offensive” satisfy your need to play semantics?

- yusee 8y agoThis is a successful global branding strategy...NOT!

- sus_007 8y ago'Dharma' in Hinduism means 'Religion'. It's just a use case of the word, and as a Hindu, I don't find it offensive at all and I'm sure others feel the same.
