Viewers demand an apology after comedian makes rogue joke about Jesus on TV panel

Turns out this LGBTIQ+ jokester and the Son of God weren't a good mix.

Comedian Reuben Kaye has found himself in hot water after making a rogue joke about Jesus during a TV panel.

Kaye, who is best known for his off-color sense of humor and dry wit, shocked audiences in Australia with one pretty savage gag about the Son of God, who apparently is not a laughing matter.

So, if you're a fan of the Big Man Upstairs or his kid, maybe don't read on.

Or see it right here.

Kaye, who appeared on the show to promote Sydney's Mardi Gras and World Pride, went in for the kill, and, let's just say, even Jesus isn't rising from this brutal slaying.

"I love Jesus," Kaye said to hosts Waleed Aly and Sarah Harris. "I love any man who can get nailed for three days straight and come back for more."

Aly looked mortified and Harris burst out laughing.

However, many people watching from home thought it wasn't a laughing matter.

Aussies raced to social media to slam the LGBTIQ+ comic for his brutal take.

One Facebook user said: "This is disgusting. To ridicule and mock Christ like this is totally unacceptable. For a community that claims to be so inclusive and accepting, it’s ironic that anything to do with Christ is so repulsive. May God forgive you."

Another raged: "So we need to respect the LGBTQabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz+++++ community, but he has no respect for people's faith and can make fun of religion?"

Another added sarcastically: "Everyone deserves dignity, safety, respect, kindness, and to be themselves. Just not if you're a Christian."

Some jumped to Kaye's defense, reminding Jesus people of the whole 'love thy neighbor' thing.

One user said: "So let me get this right, religious nuts are upset about being hated and not accepted? Oh dear, now they know how it feels when they get on their hateful rants."

Another said on Twitter: "All of the conservative people losing their shit is funnier than the Reuben Kaye Jesus joke, and that was hella funny."

Kaye has not apologized in the midst of backlash.

But he did wink at it on his own socials, posting a video from the segment with the caption: "Reckon they’ll have me back?"

Look, probably not.

But, at the end of the day, the Bible reckons Jesus loves you no matter who you are... whether you're gay, straight, funny as hell, or terminally offensive.
