quade 3 #2 February 27, 2009 I know it's kind of "compelling" but why (WHY?) do people name stuff like that? "Eye" would be just fine. Why feed people's superstitions by adding in "of God"? That is not the object's name. The object is the Helix Nebula.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I resent it because, uh, it's a blue eye, and only white people have blue eyes, so it presumes that God is Caucasian. Therefore the name is racist.
