It has to do with the orphaned boy who sleeps in a closet and thinks he’s nothing (because he’s told that by his cruel guardians) who is suddenly told he’s special—and that he’s destined for greatness. What a completly anti-Christian message.

Really?

Let us see.....

It has to do with the orphaned shepard boy who sleeps in a closet watches sheep and thinks he’s nothing (because he’s told that by his cruel guardians brothers) who is suddenly told he’s special—and that he’s destined for greatness.

It has to do with the orphaned farm boy who sleeps in a closet thrashes wheat behind a winepress and thinks he’s nothing (because he’s told that by his cruel guardians Midianite Overlords) who is suddenly told he’s special—and that he’s destined for greatness.

Yes, and I don’t think either of those examples would say they think they’re special or that they were destined for greatness. In fact, Joseph was really obnoxious the way he taunted his brothers with his dreams (the purpose of which he didn’t understand at the time). God culled the “i’m special” thing out of him by very harsh means.

What fun. Yeah, I’m pretty sure these boys were more convinced that it was God who was special, and not them.
