Sure, that makes a lot of twisted sense. ;)

"1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that
there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that
feareth God, and escheweth evil? 1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said,
Doth Job fear God for nought? 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and
about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed
the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse
thee to thy face.

1:12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power;
only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the
presence of the LORD."

So, they disobey God and get kicked out of Disney?  Yeah, cheap bastard...
