What genre is the Bible?

It's got sci-fi, fantasy, horror, mystery, comedy, and above all else just plain fiction in general.

...cause the bible is meant to be symbolic, not literal. It was meant to be flexible and changable to accomodate the growings of human understanding. ...how can I know such a thing? Well, if you understand human nature, you can understand just about anything if you look hard enough. The bible is a basic guess at an understanding to want for a better life than that of a goat, especially a scapegoat. But, even someone like myself who likes to describe things in technical terms just doesn't do any justice to poetry or screenplays. But who does? Those are the people I would like to know more about, perhaps they can contribute something to my understanding. I need to learn their ways and attempt to perform from their perspective in order to see what it is that they like about their lifestyles. So, yeah, anything that uses a symbol is pretty much poetry, but when it's put together in such as technical like I am stating, it sounds false, instead of appearing obviously false like poetry. That's because the symbology isn't important, it's the message the symbol represents that matters. So, everyone that praises the symbol or SPECIFIC word over the message is an idolator. Funny isn't it? It caught me by suprise too. Especially when I found myself talking and listening in the same way. :)
