to make jokes with Jesus references than for a non-believer? If it's offensive and inappropriate to make jokes comparing athletes to Jesus then why is it OK for believers to do it?If anything, shouldn't believers have a higher bar?

I don't get what he's trying to say though. Seeking living among dead? Huh?

This is from the Bible, not the BOM. "He who takes offense when none is intended

No, just that contrary to what his stats imply, he ain't dead yet.
