It's funny because they believe in buddy beer swilling Christ: and at the same time in God the Father as the brutal bloodthirsty fish god Dagon:

Matthew 11:16-19 16"But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates, 17"'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.'

18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.' 19The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds."

And Luke 7:31-35

Jesus never denied that He drank with tax collectors and sinners.

You have a problem with Jesus reaching out to people where they're at?

I have a problem with people thinking of the Lord God of All as Buddy Jesus.

John 13: 13 You call me Master and Lord: and you say well; for so I am.

The Greek uses the word kurios, which the Lexicon says means: supreme in authority, i.e. (as noun) controller; by implication, Master (as a respectful title) -- God, Lord, master, Sir.

The King of a kingdom may eat with his subjects, but he is never one of them. That is how the Apostles understood Him. Jesus is always Master or Lord or Rabbi. Even when He was washing their feet, He identifies Himself as the greatest.

Jesus is not first among equals. He is just First.
