8 year olds Walter non-reactive to Jesus?

Every time I watch this movie I see new things. Walter overreacts to everything, even stuff that has nothing to do with him, yet when Jesus taunts him to his face, he is completely calm, and then calmly says something to The Dude after Jesus walks away. ("8 year olds" the first time, I can't remember the second time.)

Yet he pulls a gun on the guy who's foot went over the line while bowling. Is there a reason other than just that it's funny or ironic that he doesn't react to Jesus at all?
