Heh, funny, I loved that opera for the exact opposite reasons. :) My favorite lines from it would be more like:
Every time I look at you I don't understand Why you let the things you did get so out of hand. You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned. Why'd you choose such a backward time in such a strange land? If you'd come today you could have reached a whole nation. Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication.
Or from the same aria:
Tell me what you think about your friends at the top. Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop? Buddha, was he where it's at? Is he where you are? Could Mohammed move a mountain, or was that just PR?
Because they speak to me about the need for faith and the inability of man to know the unknowable.

Of course, YMMV. :)
