Rather odd reasoning. You have to wonder if there was something else.
There usually is something else, maybe multiple foibles. I have observed this, though: in Christianity, bigness, especially sudden bigness, carries with it a number of sometimes fatal pitfalls. #1 of course is money; but not far behind are stardom (a big no-no in the Gospel) and groupies, who ingratiate themselves via sexual availability. It is the rare man who can combat these successfully all at once, especially when his flunkies are in on it, too.
