SALT LAKE CITY — Rep. Steve Wall (R-Layton) announced on Tuesday that he will be sponsoring a bill during Utah’s next legislative session to change the name of Mt. Olympus, the imposing mountain peak that towers over the Salt Lake Valley.

The reason for the proposed name change? Paganism.

“Mount Olympus is a reference to the imaginary dwelling of equally imaginary pagan Greek gods,” said Wall. “The most popular and well-known mountain in the state of Utah should not be named after false idols.”

Wall, who won’t let his children see the Avengers movies because of their “acceptance of Norse paganism,” said that he has already received vocal support from several other state representatives.

“Honestly, I think it offends Jesus when we remove his name from his creation and replace it with some made-up mountain from Hercules,” one representative told The Daily Frick. “This is an embarrassment for Utah and a victory for Satan. Fixing this should be our #1 priority for the next legislative session.”
