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.

I can accept that and your right to your religious sensibilities is duly noted. Again, no offense was meant to God or any org, it was simply a joke, not about God, Christianity, or the Kappas. The joke was on the Bruhz and I'm sure that Greeks who engage in good-natured rivalry understand the concept.
I would respectfully submit that if one is anti-Greek, or finds Greek life incompatible with Christianity, or having fun riles one's sensitivities, hanging out where Greeks congregate, may ruffle your feathers on occassion.
