I was watching my favorite song ever (In the Belly of a Whale by Newsboys) on youtube, and cracked up when I saw this comment whining about why Veggietales is the devil for "changing god's message".

"That's not the only thing that's wrong with this song and the movie. The movie also depicts Jonah as a psycho wimp at the end, and it's Caleel the worm who has right sense. The Bible does not depict any response from Jonah besides this: "But God said to Jonah, "Do you have a right to be angry about the vine?" "I do," he said. "I am angry enough to die." " -Jonah 4:9 NIV. This does not mean that Jonah had a mental collapse, as is depicted in the film."

Being angry enough to die isn't having a mental collapse? I don't wanna see what one is then...

I totally pictured Jonah having a lil temper tantrum at the end of the book. Think about it, EVERYTHING written in the bible sounds monotone. (And then God said "I'll kill you all and many lolz will be had." And he was very angry when he said this. ROTFLs 3:10) Obviously Jonah was being a big crybaby up on that hill. He said he'd rather die and be back in the whale then watch the people of Nineveh be forgiven. He whined and cried when a worm ate his weed. Yea, we dunno what Jonah ended up doing eventually, but it's pretty clear he had a meltdown. (Big Idea won forever for getting a cute little gramatically-precise uptight character like Archie to throw a tantrum and have it be believable too anyway.)

The $6.50 was worth it alone to see Big Idea actually pull off the storyboard of Archie do that lil worm position during his tantrum anyway.

And you way underestimate the power of the viewers. I am well aware that the Ninevites did not slap each other with fish, that cheese curls were uninvolved in the story at all, or that Jonah faced the slap of no return. See? I knew that without even looking at the bible, and you could too if you had the IQ of salsa.

And you spelled Khalil wrong.

Just saying...
