"Hey, fellow Christians," commented Casey Mattox, senior fellow for free Speech & toleration at the Charles Koch Institute, on Twitter Sunday.

"I understand Jesus Christ Superstar failed to fully present the Gospel on TV tonight. That's your job. So quit your whining," he added.

"Stop. Trying. To. Outsource. The. Great. Commission," Mattox said in a subsequent tweet.
