If it weren't such an effective mind-control device, it would be laughable.

No, The Mighty Boosh is the greatest comedy of all time.
Maybe if they made the Bible into a TV show starring Noel Fielding it'd be the greatest comedy of all time.

Actually the bible does meet the literary criteria for a comedy. It even ends with a wedding, albeit it symbolic.

No of course not. The Bible was an ill conceived document to control the masses and it was at one time a very effective tool. It is still use by politicians to control the people. Except more and more people are voting against it now to suite the politicians as they would like. It has lost quite a bit of it potential as far as politicians are concerned.

Yes, here's some great comedy from the Bible.....
Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
When I was a child,
I talked like a child,
I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man,
I put childish ways behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror;
then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully,
even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
~1 Corinthians 13

Most comedies don't end with the destruction of the earth and judgment of humanity.

Oh, yeah. It's kind of dark humor though. I crack up every time I think about the Angel of Death slaughtering first born children. Usually it's on the way to an abortion clinic protest.

No, I found the Koran to be much more entertaining. Paedophilia, murder, double standards. What better than the rantings of a complete nutter.

There are some stories that are funny, some that are sad. Some that will make you laugh, and some that will make you cry.
But when you read it all you will find life.

Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a gazelle, which feed among the lilies.

Did you ever see Penn & Teller's show Bullshit? They have an episode on the bible that's hilarious.
