It seems that nothing is sacred and everything is evil, according to the left.
Photos of the proud parents of a University of Texas graduate went viral because they displayed the popular and well-known “Hook ‘Em Horns” sign depicting the school mascot — the Texas Longhorns.
But because UT graduate Jonathan Osteen’s parents happen to be megachurch pastor Joel Osteen and his wife Victoria, the gesture took on a darker significance — the sign of Satan. Really?
The reverend tweeted this photo of his pride for his son’s accomplishment.
We had a great day celebrating @JonathanOsteen‘s graduation from the University of Texas at Austin! So proud of him! pic.twitter.com/fHATVCFPQy

Shortly after that, Victoria Osteen got into the spirit of the moment, by also displaying her school spirit.
Congratulations @JonathanOsteen on your graduation from the University of Texas at Austin! I couldn’t be more proud! pic.twitter.com/cw7hcChut6

It wasn’t long before someone on social media predicted others would take the hand gesture completely wrong.
@JoelOsteen @JonathanOsteen People are going to take this picture completely out of context with the hand gestures smh
God bless you @JonathanOsteen. Congratulations!

And of course that prediction proved to be spot-on.

@JoelOsteen @JonathanOsteen Why you do that sign with your finger?
— Natalia ??? (@Sandragdg) May 20, 2017
Why would they do that? Wait for it … wait for it — here it comes!
@JoelOsteen @JonathanOsteen Why on Earth would you use the devil sign? My goodness a thumbs up would work or you don’t have thumbs?????

@ebealforty4 @JoelOsteen @JonathanOsteen wow, “Hook em” like how this false prophet hooks his followers by being charismatic and manipulative. Hes satan in disguise as a friend.

Even when proud Texans patiently explained the gesture’s meaning, some clearly weren’t buying it.
@ChasiaMJ @JoelOsteen @JonathanOsteen It is Texas Longhorn sign for the school that he is graduating from

@VictoriaOsteen @JonathanOsteen Doing horns?! Even though is UT, that symbol ain’t good! Thats devil’s symbol!

The “Hook ‘Em Horns” sign was originated decades ago by Harley Clark, who was then a University of Texas cheerleader. He explain in this 2013 interview what led to its inception.
