While we're at it, let's rename all the cities in California that start with Santa or San.....certainly some athiest somewhere is offended by that.

I think it should be changed to Mount Fagedaboutit, an old Indian word which means "Get a life you profitless Hooplehead."

Wouldn't "Mount Diablo" translate as "Screw Satan" ...so what the problem?

He takes boys camping on the mountain? I can see why he's afraid of satan.
To: zoomie2
unfortunately, Kawukum translates roughly as "hail satan".
To: BurbankKarl
Although we know this place as Mt. Diablo today, the mountain has had many Indian names. They include: Tuyshtak (Ohlone/Costanoan), 'Oj-ompil-e (Northern Miwok), Supemenenu (Southern Miwok), Sukku Jaman (Nisenan) and Kawukum (group of unknown origin). So, we're to change the name he doesn't like to a new name whose meaning we don't know in a language of an unknown people?
Brilliant!
To: BurbankKarl
The Indian word "Bohica" would be an excellent name. Loosely translated it means "Unwanted Painful Entry Likely". But it the Bay area it would translate "Oh Goody". Mount Bohica has a certain ring to it.

Hey, I grew up in the shadow of Mt. Diablo. Nearly killed myself on that mountain when I wiped out my bike into oncoming traffic.
If he doesn't like the name, I suggest he MOVE somewhere less offensive. That mountain has been around longer than he has.
