If your friend called Jesus Christ a mascot, would you be offended?

Awhile back, my friend called Jesus Christ a mascot by saying "...like Jesus Christ and other mascots...". I'm extremely offended by it, being a Catholic, and my friend thinks it's not offensive, and I'm the only one. If you're not offended at all by this, answer me this: would anyone who is Christian or Catholic find this offensive? Thank in advance, and I WILL report any answers that are just to get the two points for answering.
