Jesus and Mo making fun of a common reaction of religious people to criticism or scrutiny of their positions, that of accusing the accuser of having a simplistic point of view or event a lack of understanding. Usually this kind of objection is seated in a desire to attack the person rather than the argument (because it's much easier than addressing the actual objection) but I find it's also sometimes a genuine ignorance of the counter arguments to their position, a kind of Dunning Kruger thing.
