The full quote really pissed them off:

"We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first – rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."

Here's an appropriate essay for the topic.

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/10/heres-b...-wizardry/

Quote:Here’s how Bible stories mimic common literary tropes about magic and wizardry

I can hear them shrieking already.

"But our bullshit is real because WE ARE SPECIAL."

Yeah - you're special.  Short bus special.

Just think Jesus’ magic hasn’t aged well. Sure it impressed some goat farmers a couple of thousand years ago but the CGI was pretty lame.

And he couldn’t fly or shoot flames from his wand.

Personally I’m bummed that he turned water into wine. Why not high grade, 120 proof, bourbon?

Disappointing choice of alcohol.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
