Definitely none taken (you proven yourself a very inoffensive guy to me! :o))
I may have mis-interpreted your inferrence--I inferred what you didn't imply!
I guess what I was pointing out is a phenomenon I find interesting--In matters of faith (which includes just about anything we can't imperically know) we always revert to our default settings.
An example. People who for spiritual of other reasons reject the possibility that the Bible could be historically accurate will accept without question that the reason the Bible cotains a "Flood story" is because it borrows from a universally used religious myth. The Bible believer looks at the universally used "Flood myth" and find confirmation that the Bible is true (He assumes the other religions are the borrowers)---JH
