I'm not sure I'd agree, but I think it's interesting that the word 'awful' seems appropriate here - not just plain 'bad'. 'awful' and 'sacred' really should be related concepts.
A non-Bayesian! Burn the heretic!
More seriously, the bible is not uniformly awful -- I'm rather fond of bits of Ecclesiastes, for example, particularly when set to music.
