Yeah I watched it last night. I also noticed. A few other things too, like calling God "OldMan" and and when his mom dies he sings a song about the virgin Mary.
I've read a lot of bible, but now that I think of it, it was OG Bible. Not much Jesus stuff and I don't really recognize half the stuff you listed
First thing I noticed though was him cutting off the parking meter heads. That would be like the story of the money changers.
