For them there'd be nothing politically incorrect about those names at all.

And to the arguments made about it looking "nothing like a deity" you clearly don't get the point. God Gundam as a name is a representation of the absolute power that machine can achieve. Not it's status as an actual deity. Like I said religious icons don't correlate the same way they do in Western culture. Much like Devil Gundam has the dark power of "the devil", an absolutely imposing dark force that only the power of a god could overcome in the end.

The Turn A is more fitting for that moniker then and I understood the symbolism perfectly I just don't agree with it as the God Gundam doesn't look the least bit holy or Godlike to me contrasted against the Devil Gundam which actually looked demonic.
