The essential indication of the allegorical status of any tale is after the first telling, it quickly falls by the wayside for adults as the intended message stands on its own. If the supposedly intended message must frequently refer back to the “allegory” for support, then the allegory is not an allegory but a doctrinary manifesto, however the fabricator of the manifesto chose to present its contents.
The Bible was never intended to be any sort of allegory. It is part sales collateral, to overawe the impressionable about the overarching knowledgeability of its author by the use of breathtaking and overarching bullshit, and part dictatorial manifesto, browbeating the impressionable with rules governing how the impressionable should debase their own judgement and yield up any independent thinking that contradict the convenience of the said bullshitters.
