Newbie, I would never disrespect my Lord and Saviour, nor would I disrespect my chosen way of life. The joke was not about God, nor anyones faith, it was about da Bruhz, an obvious parody of our sometimes reputation. Why anyone would find that this discredits the Almighty in any way leads me too the conclusion that either the protesters are "holier than thou", too sensitive", or are just looking for something to be offended about. Whether the reader finds it funny or not, is in the eye of the beholder, but it is not sacriligious.

Okay, maybe I fall into the category of too sensitive, but I don't see anything wrong with that. When you care about something you are entitled to be sensitive about it, even if others might not understand. I understood that the joke was about the omega's notorious reputation but why even say GOD was an Omega? Why say the devil was a kappa? That's the part that offends me, not saying, again, that someone wrote it to intention bother some overly protective Christians, but still, when you write something and post it in a public forum that anyone can read and its about GOD, people are going to respond no matter what.
I am not picking on Omega Psi Phi, or anything. Honestly, I get offended by all of the Divine nine, "GOD made a women and called her ABC or GOD was a XYZ, crap." I mean you are not supposed to take the name of the Lord in vain and I don't think HE would find it funny, but like you said thats in the eye of the reader. I hope I clarified exactly why things like this aren't accepted everywhere, and who knows maybe people will find other ways describe their orgs while still honoring other people's beliefs.
