Isn't this then just a religious analogy to the cancel culture social justice warriors who want to "un-name" every city, state, building, or monument which had association with a former slave owner?

But if you prefer Resurrection day, Lord's Day, Founder's Day, the "First President's Monument," or even calling our U.S. capital "First President D.C.", is fine with me.

Btw, have a great 5th day of the week!
You forgot to mention the names of the months being named after Roman gods! But to me, it's the naming of something that is specifically pertaining to the Lord, such as Easter and Christmas. But you know me bro - we've had similar etymological discussions around good ol' "church" too! Bottom-line is we will likely have these names until the Lord returns (soon?), and He decides what He wants to do with them - who knows, maybe He'll just say, "Whatever - it's not important!"
