Whatever means to an end submitted must have a practical beneficial use to someone - it should be an effective and applicable solution to a real-world scenario. You can't just senselessly destroy the book outright. I'll start off:
Well, it may not be physically constructive, like a door stop, but the Bible, or parts of it, does have some literary value, and I doubt most or any non-believing literary professor or Biblical scholar would wish for the wholesale excavation of all sacred texts (canonical or gnostic), just the application of them in modern life.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. — T.S. Eliot
"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir
"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"
