Because he's

All I have to do is find some obscure reference in the Bible, make some ridiculous claim and invoke the name of God.

I hate pork.
Pass it on,

If you had the opportunity to invoke the powerful name of such an authority aware that that authority was never, ever going to publicly admonish your use of his name, wouldn't you? Especially if you had an agenda that needed to be pushed. What better celebrity endorser than God? Bigger than Jesus and oh, so quiet.
