The same joke exists, but its a bit less deliberately inflammatory. I mean, implying a priest wants to suck off Jesus could easily be complained about as going too far, I think, and I say that as an atheist.
CWA - thank you for that. I almost posted in this topic yesterday, but decided that it was best to cool down a bit and not say something I'd regret. I appreciate satire and humour, but even so - was rather disturbed and (yes, even offended!) when I saw that option yesterday. I understand my Christian faith is often a subject of mockery - an "easy" target, as it were...and so I'm able to let most of this roll over me - I've even laughed at some of the satirical religious options in issues before now! But implying a sexual act with my God being the target...was not fun to read that. I'm only posting now because you did change it and I wanted to say thank you. I don't usually find trying to persuade someone to change their mind on something like this is a fruitful endeavour, so I appreciate you doing this.
