I don't believe in magical beings. I *do* believe some humans intentionally set out to hurt other humans. Branden's beliefs and sneering disdain for some of his fellow humans is quite clear. (Note: your response was measured and even). Please explain to me the relevance of these names without the specific intent of discomforting people. The *intent* is clear. If you can explain for, historical, literary, philosophical reasons, I will enthusiastically support those names. If it's just because "let's piss off the Christians", then I say, pick something else. Actually I think you *should* pick those names. I'd love to see the resulting carnage :-)
