I'm going to ask the same question of Fish. Is there anything that's off limits for you? How about murdering children? The rape of women is okay to joke about so what about raping children? How about genocide? I haven't seen many people making jokes about murder or torture but maybe I'm just not watching the right (or wrong) shows.
My point is that joking around about rape trivializes the crime. Trivializing it makes it more likely to be committed.
Making jokes about God doesn't hurt God. Please don't try to make the same claim for jokes about rape.
