Why Are Planets Still Named After Roman Gods?

[Armelius]

Looks like there is still some hypocracy left in religious people. Or maybe Rome moved to other countries.

Uhhhhhh....what? What do you suggest we name them? Maybe since you love to keep that puke Stalin in your sig line, we can name the closest 3 planets Stalin, Beria, and Molotov. Then maybe Hitler, Pol Pot, Caligula and Nero, Nimrod, and Jeffrey Dahmer. You like those kinds of guys, right?

[Imagine]

or it would be all over my lap.

That's funny!!!

eh em.

Anyone can name a star.

It's the one who created them that never changes.

IN fact, i'm going to name one after my husband.

[Armelius]

Name them after jews.

Marx, Lenin, Hitler (or schickelgruber), Trotsky, Benjamin, Desraeli, Jesus, de Nazi, Einstein, Rothchilde, and Warburg.

I don't know. There is just something about NASA sending a probe to see the moons of Trotsky that sounds weird.

Not only planets but the days of the week are named after norse gods and the months are named after roman ceasars.

Something is really wrong with so called christians if they tolerate false gods for use in everyday lingo. But then ascribe to the "have no other gods before me," commandment.

I think that might even be the first commandment.

LOL armelius. You crack me up. Since when have Christians been worshipping the days of the week? Next time you see one on his knees praying to Thursday, let us know. Until then, we'll just be praying for all the guys using dead men's library cards. Keep on posting. They're pure entertainment.
