Textual accounts are evidence, just woefully insufficient evidence for a sceptic regarding the claims that are normally made.

Anecdotal accounts are also evidence, but again insufficient to a sceptic.

Unexplained phenomena are not evidence. They are simply unexplained.

Well, this is bullshit.

So-called "sceptics" are plenty happy to accept textual accounts in other cases. 

It's only skepticism because they have a problem with theism. At least have the integrity to admit that much.

maybe they have a problem with a 2000+ year old book of stories that look a lot like other myth stories throughout history you have a half God half human creature :jesus that concept came from greek mythology where gods had human wives and sons half human half God and took . you have to take into account the cultures of the times what evidence is there that   of it is all mythology creative writing and rumor and manipulation and politics ! nevermind that the catholic church you are relying on their honesty really havent recent events shown them to be manipulative liars ? there are several interpretations and additions long after jesus died the synoptic gospels were not even collected for several generations after his death all things are subject to the society the myths the attitudes of the people , the catholic church as it became more powerful had every reason to try and keep that power mixed with politics anything produced by 2000-6000 year old politics we have crappy corrupt politicians and we live in a modern secular society so be skeptical for that reason alone
