If I want to refute the veracity of a text, of course I am going to cite examples from that text to illustrate the points I am making. I am not stating that I ‘believe in’ these points; rather, I am using the quotes to buttress my arguments against their veracity.
If I had problems with a textbook, I would, of necessity, cite the incorrect statements in the textbook and then show just how they are false.
And, of course, the Bible is real, in the sense that it exists. This is not the subject of debate. it’s whether the Bible is accurate, consistent, etc. And, of course, Bible skeptics are going to point out areas where it’s inaccurate or inconsistent by using quotes from the Bible. How else do you expect them to do it?”
