How can it make any sense to refer to “missing books of the Bible”?
They’re ‘missing’ because they were originally there and were later removed. It’s not bizarre that atheists are often the ones who refer to the ‘missing books’ because the missing books were those that referred to jesus as an ordinary (as opposed to supernatural) being. They also reveal Judas as nothing more than a convenient scapegoat and indicate that Mary Magdalene was jesus’ chosen successor as head of the church. When Emperor Constantine convened the Council of Nicea his empire was collapsing with in-fighting and rebellion and he needed a way of uniting his people. He selected christianity as a way of bringing all his people together and specifically chose those books of the bible that emphasised self-sacrifice, a supernatural jesus and rewards in the afterlife rather than in this life. By doing this, his propaganda machine encouraged people not to complain and rebel against their poverty and poor treatment in this life by promising rewards in heaven.
