Names of mass murderers mean nothing to me, its what they did that makes me grind my teeth.But in my eyes that isn´t even the same. Those men did what they did in reality. If you compare them with Yen lo Wang you also could compare them to Darth Vader. Real people who did horrible things in reality and fictional characters that vaguely resemble what we today understand as satan are not comparable.And the understanding of "Satan", or whatever you want to call it, which we have today mainly comes from H.P. Lovecraft, and not the Bible.If you pledge that those words should be banned you basically try to change what I am allowed to say or not to say based on your beliefsystem that I do not share. Or do you see me go into the thread of the seraphim and tell them "god is not real"?If PGI went ahead and named a Mech after real mass murderer I probably would strong disagree with that decission. But that would not be the same. If they would name a Hero Mech "Darth Vader" I would probably buy it just for shits and giggles.

However, from an agnostic point of view it actually annoys me just as much when full atheists decide what is imposing and what is not. By claiming a religious person's world view is distorted, you are implying that your world view is correct. Meaning your imposing your world view, thus making you a hypocrite.

Yes, you are right. I should have chosen another way to deliver my point.But mainly I turned his own argument. I do not care what he believes, its his believe and its not my place to judge him.However, if somebody is trying to limit other peoples speech based on his own worldview he IS trying to impose his view. And it is absolutely my place to disagree wih that.
