The Bible: not a page turner!

[sven]

In many ways the Bible stories are satirical essays about morality. They give the ideal and then contrast it with the imperfect.

I strongly suspect that the authors may not have intended it to be satire.

Read with a satirical perspective in mind, however, the Bible could be a much more entertaining read.
I would have liked a more slapstick, sitcom feel to it though...

For example:

Noah builds an Ark to escape the flood.
God drowns the entire world.
Noah lands on a little island and makes a sacrifice.
God smells the sacrifice and comes down, wearing a clown nose.
God says: 'Just kidding! C'mon! lighten up everybody!' *honks car horn*
An angel does a drum roll and ends with a cymbal.
Noah, his family and all the animals laugh. Freeze frame.
Credits roll.

But now I feel we are criticising the story of the bible, rather than its 'entertainment' value.
