The Osteens' son graduated from the University of Texas recently and were pictured making the hand sign known generally to represent the devil or evil.
But to those who know the University of Texas tradition, it is the longhorn sign called 'Hook 'em horns'.

The middle
and ring finger are held down with the thumb while the pinky and index finger stand
erect, creating the shape of the head of a longhorn cattle.
Meanwhile, some people didn't find it 'Christian'. Here are some of their comments:
"What symbolic signs are u showing the world?" Twitter user @AndreUPX said.
"what's with the Satanist hex?" Twitter user @JosefSoabeb.
"The sign sir ... I honor you but that hand gesture sent a very bad signal! Can't believe it's you," the Twitter user wrote.

@ian_indimuli asked Joel Osteen and his son, "Why on Earth would you
use the devil sign? My goodness a thumbs up would work or you don't have
thumbs?"
"Doing horns?! Even though is UT, that symbol ain't good! Thats devil's symbol!"
Another tweeter came to the Osteens' defence:
"Hook 'em Horns is the slogan and hand signal of The University of Texas at Austin."
