I'll let someone who is up on their scriptures make that link. I find it pretty funny myself.
It is not being portrayed accurately.
Probably not. The emphasis in such a description is to put the very same events you see in an absurd light. It fits pretty well when God is understood as a literal personage albeit an eternal and all powerful one - provided you find such a notion as absurd as I do. If one just admitted they really did not understand the mystery of god and also admitted the bible can't change that .. then one's understanding of God would not be subject to this kind of juvenile portrayal. Unfortunately, the shoe fits.
