I don’t think the Bible could be written in any worse style than it is already. The only thing it could do to further sabotage itself would be to visibly not take itself seriously.
I think the bible could just as well have been written this way, and people would take for granted that that’s how sacred texts are supposed to sound. Fanatics would fight bloody wars over the theololgical signifance of Ceiling Cat’s abstention from eating the earth, while more subdued scholars pointed out parallels between this and the Greek myth about Cronos.
