I was expecting to be annoyed by this post, but when it first popped up and I saw the "Let there be light" thing as the start of the video, I thought to myself, yeah, I would be offended too if my school had a blatant biblical reference as their seal. God damn right it would have to go.
But no, this is about an ugly new logo. Why does no one mount a campaign to remove the religious pandering?

- sliverstorm 14y agoIs "Let there be light" really a blatant biblical reference? I mean, I have just learned the phrase is biblical in origin, but even now I don't see an appeal to the bible in its use by UC. It's not like fiat lux is out of context for a University.
- mturmon 14y agoI don't think anyone would accuse the UC system of having a problem with religious pandering, so such a campaign would be an empty gesture.
- smsm42 14y agoYes, light, enlightenment, etc. - no way that could fit something an university does. It is very offensive - how they could use the same words that are mentioned in Bible? And worse yet, the same letters too (well, at least if you take the English translation, but that's what we are offended about, right?) I think somebody should sue them for all the great harm they caused by displaying such an offensive slogan. This can not stand! Let them use words and letters that could not be connected to the Bible in any way! Let them use Klingon!
- sliverstorm 14y agoSir, I believe key pieces of the bible have been translated to Klingon.
