Since you lack the mental capacity to see beyond your own Christophobia, I must demonstrate to you your lack of imagination. The bible could be evidence for any of the following:
The existence of the Q gospel.
Political structure of the Roman empire.
Confirming the location of various historical sites.
The role of slavery in ancient Hebrew society.
Etc., etc.
As you can see the biblical texts can serve as evidence supporting a wide range of theories, both religious AND secular.
I will now accept your admission of guilt for mindlessly parroting the stupidity of others.
You're right. The Bible can serve as evidence for any number of interesting but otherwise mundane claims. It's telling that you so carefully avoided mentioning any of the major doctrinal claims of Christianity for which the Bible is allegedly evidence. When people "mindlessly parrot" the saw that the Bible is the claim, not the evidence, I'm pretty sure it's the supernatural stuff they have in mind -- you know: resurrections and other extraordinary claims.
Oh, and Christophobia?
