Christian group wants Devil's Peak renamed

[Mila]

And then? We give way for all religions to demand name changes?

 

[techead]

Was just a question...

No problem just don't feel like haggling lol

I'm on holiday

"A group of prominent Cape Town Christians" but they don't mention who they are.

I guess they also not Manchester United supporters given their nickname of "Red Devils"

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

I still remember when they drove Devildriver out of the country.

It's my opinion and my view, which I am quite entitled to air thanks

Of course, the question was 'why?' though. I'd also be interested to know

 

[Bunta]

Why?

Guess we should start making the list of things to rename:
Die Hel (area north of Calitzdorp)
Devils Flower Mantis (insect)
Tasmanian Devil
Dust devils
Devils paintbrush, devils claw (flowers)
etc

Rename them all!

Me thinks it'd be easier to just rename the Devil?

Hope it doesnt get changed, i've lived on the foothills of Devils Peak my entire life... It's home, it's warm and cosy... here in the foothills of the aptly named mountain.

Aargh! Burn it! Burn it all!!!
(Once had one of those stick though a pair of flip flops into that soft fleshy bit under your big toe.)

My eyes water just thinking about that.

One house we stayed in when I was a wee lad, in the 80's, the yard was infested with these. My feet were always poked full of holes. kill them with fire!!!

No probs, I understand. It just seems a nice bit of history and I can't for the life of me understand why it would be offensive to anyone.

We prefer sound reason and logic

 

[Mila]

If All religions are Equal under out law, Satanism will say no to this idea.


This is ludicrous.

 

[Electric]

Christians

 

[Mila]

What would be more offensive, A Muslim name or Devils peak?

Exactly why I don't discuss on this forum

 

[Nerfherder]

If you have ever tried to climb that bastard you know why they call it Devils peak.

Fat chops in church can get ****ed if they think they can change the name.

 

[Veraclus]

Diablo's Horn?

 

[Agent_Smith]

Diablo's Horn?

The Antichrist Apex? Hmm, might not go down to well...

 

[grok]

What's next .. the Pastafarians demanding it be called Macaroni Mountain?

Doesn't our super-progressive constitution protect us from these & other religious nutcases?

"The appeal to the Committee was clear: Cape Town must be liberated from the demonic name; renaming the mountain would set a precedent for peace within the city and beyond..."
