Y'know, I don't really get this sentiment.  Honestly, I don't understand it
(I'm not trying to cause an argument here.  Picture me scratching my head in
curiosity.).

It seems pretty obvious, to me anyway, that the White Wolf Father Ramos site
is intended as a parody of Jack Chick's infamous tracts, which are Christian
only in the loosest sense of the word.

So what's offensive about it?  It's a parody of an offensive fringe lunatic.
I'm not sure I'm getting where the snag is.

As for the game itself, it's been hinted at somewhat strongly that there
were Demons in the WoD for some time now, particularly in Hunter.  I don't
imagine White Wolf to have intentionally developed a game about Demons
simply as a publicity stunt any more than I think that Steve Jackson Games
developed a version of In Nomine for cheap thrills.
