Horrible idea for a name.

    So I see this facebook group keep popping up in my "suggestions."

    Sheologians.

    After seeing it three or four times, and thinking, "What on earth can that be about?", I finally click on it and see that it's a group for women theologians.

    She + theologians = Sheologians, I guess.

    Am I the only one thinking that that is a pretty horrible name? Anyone else have any others?

    I thought it was some sort of a cult for people that were into Sheol, or the place of the dead.

    In general I think the name sounds terrible. From another angle, are they saying women can't be theologians? I guess male theologians can't be sheologians, though (unless they're transgender, maybe?), so this may be more about excluding men?

    James White's daughter is one, I believe.
    I saw a video of her trying to interview people outside an abortion clinic and the name was there somehow
