Was Obi Wan a bad mentor/teacher?

According to Lucas, albeit apocryphal, since I can't find the quote right now, the Jedi's view on the Force is correct.
But the Jedi would say that, why would they support and enforce a religion that is a lie?
Can you imagine a Catholic Priest breaking down in front of his congregation... "Please stay, the Jews are right, this is rubbish, but please stay, I'm so lonely."

I was talking about Lucas, not the Jedi.
Lucas sold his right to have retroactively binding non-canonical opinions about Star Wars to Disney several years ago.
Just talking about general world building and concepts.
Of course, that could all change.

George had several opportunities, too many editions, to make all his thoughts canon, and then Disney gave him 4 billion dollars to shut up and #### off.
What he's saying here (above) is fine.
But what if he becomes a drunk, or he's captured by Isis and forced to make anti-Star Wars PSAs discrediting the franchising by legitimizing inauthentic ideology under threat of decapitation?
"Han Solo is also Leia's brother. Princess Leia has always enjoyed incest, and always will."

That explains "Splinter of the Mind's Eye."
Also, Lucas still manages a writing credit on Rebels. So, he hasn't been told to
off...yet.
Obviously he can. He can go lock himself away in some asteroid somewhere and refuse to do anything. If Luke had died somewhere along the way there would have been no reason for Vader to do what he did in ROTJ.
That doesn't mean it was the only possible outcome.
No offense, but I will put more weight behind Lucas' opinion on the matter than I will most people's, including my own.
Lucas seems to have implied that starting late was a pretty big problem as he skipped over 10 years of Anakin's life without giving a lot of details or specifics about what his life and training had been like during that time. Also that one of the few details was Obi-Wan's claim that his abilities and acclaim made him arrogant, which could have happened with traditional training but seems unlikely (at least from those causes).
True, Anakin and Dooku are both exceptions to the tendency to avoid the Dark Side so Anakin's problems weren't the only path. Dooku's turn wasn't gone in to much but it seemed he had developed arrogance that only he knew how best to rule.
I guess that's a form of attachment but it seems pretty different from the kind that leads to either selfishness or fear and anger.
What are Roddenberry's opinion's about Discovery?
"When they say on a show 'Created by' anyone, like 'Created by Gene Roddenberry,' that is not true. I laid out a pathway, and then the only thing I will take credit for is, I surrounded myself by very bright people who came up with all those wonderful things. And then you can appear very smart."
He's not uptight about all the LGBTQ representation?
"I have nothing but admiration for this silly race of ours. Even with the Hitlers in it and so on. Sometimes it goes into ugliness, but, in all though, it is a beauty. It's like a rose, which also has thorns. We're something."
Wait, I thought that's what he said about too many women in the cast with speaking parts?
