Incredibly disrespectful and not even remotely accurate to the real story. They take the Word of God and blaspheme it. They fail to make anything remotely funny, scary, dark, or have any sort of "meaning". It was just garbage. They did succeed in making themselves look like fools. Now when someone who is unfamiliar with the actual biblical story reads or listens to this hazard of a publication, they will learn a poorly rendered "re-telling" of this story and believe it to be just as accurate of The Bible's version and will less likely seek out and find the true meaning and importance The Bible teaches us.
