Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
Sunset Shimmer rolled her eyes as the doors slammed open. "Before you ask, I am not encouraging this. Heck, one of my bishops is trying to put it down. I'll take your petition, of course, and acknowledge it in my next vlog, but at the moment I am trying to relax."
Sunny Flare blinked. "...I thought you didn't like using omniscience."
"I don't."
"Then how do you know I'm objecting to the movement to make naming children after celestial objects illegal?"
"Same way I know about the countermovement to make people named after celestial objects saints of some sort." Sunset gestured to her phone. "The Internet."
Sunny opened her mouth, paused, and nodded. "Makes... sense. I had a speech—"
"Do you have it in text form?"
"Yes."
"Leave it with the petition, I swear I'll get to it."
Reverence comes in many forms, few of them welcome.

This does make me wonder something: how many people have prayed to Sunset asking her to name their children?

I feel sorry for all the children to be named after Uranus.
Considering how many common, real life first names ultimately have religious origins (my own coming from Hebrew), I am ultimately not surprised that a religion dedicated to a current, living God would seek to venerate Her by using names for the next generation based upon Her own. It's not even something most would object to. (Although having names involving celestial bodies and lighting effects combined being as common as, say, John will lead to things becoming very confusing very fast.)
That said, having one's name be enough to elevate someone to Sainthood is just plain wrong on so many levels....

I really think that Jesus was being metaphorical at that moment, and it utterly went over the head of his disciples. IMO one of his habitual mistakes was overestimating the intelligence of everyone around him. It's a common error committed by supergeniuses.
Way to knock the wind out of a girl's sails, Sunset!
