'Noah': Twitter conservatives outraged that film deviates from Bible's original English

Devout Christians are up in arms this morning about Darren Aronofsky's film Noah, despite the fact that the majority of them haven't seen it. They're upset because, in the words of one person on Twitter:

Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro objected, repeatedly, to the film's depiction of humanity as the planet's designated caretaker, and one of his followers agreed, pointing Twitter-followers the biblical verses in their original English:

Which isn't to say all of the responses to the film have consisted of ignorant trolling. Ever the self-promoter, Lars Von Trier used the occasion of the film's release to remind people that he's got one coming out too:
