    Yeah, every single one of those gospels were important, but they leave most of them out? If there is a hell, they will be there now.

      However, many that weren't included were written much later.. or obviously have different ideas (obviously from nearby thought..)

        And yet they included the Book of Revelation, which is just a stupid dream.

          It amazes me that people try to discredit the Bible which we know was written by real people with real experiences but believe crap like the Da Vinci code which we know is completely fake.
          Real people about things that happened hundreds of years before they were writing.

                      not always the case, especially with the NT

                        The four gospels were all written long after the time, certainly not by the apostles they are named for.

                              A guy is having a wedding.

                              He's a miser so he gets in some cheap wine for the guests and hides all the good stuff in the cellar. The wine runs out (he didn't buy enough, told you he was a miser) and this wiseguy says, "hey, what are all these barrels hidden away in the cellar?" "Oh, that's just water" says the host. They do live in a desert after all. And the wiseguy says "well *magic magic* I'll turn it into wine!" and they crack open the barrels and lo it is wine and it's even better than the old stuff!
