That's just the thing, people are not really mocking the bible on the whole they realise it is not divine revelation to be taken no more seriously than the fantasy books of other religions. It is true that some parables can easily be understood again just like in other religious and none religious texts.
It's not the bible that is being mocked generally, it's the belief of people who base their lives round it's supernatural unproven claims.
