As for Christianity inventing new stuff, don't even get me started. It's interesting when it happened 1000 years ago and the 10th century monastic reform is quite entertaining, as is the later 13th(?) century edict against married priests. But they latest stuff about making the church more up to date just seems daft. Not that it's much different to what went on before, but it's more interesting when you study the history of the church IMO rather than its current affairs.
Don't You mean since 367 AD when Roman Church under imperial orders removed the original 27 books from the (Gnostic)Bible (including the Gospels of Jesus, Mary Magdelene, Phillip, Thomas the Sceptic and Jesus Iscariot-being translated in Switzerland into English, French and German at this minute, will be published in 2007 found in Egypt in the 1950's at Nagi). There were 13 books found in total but the others were burnt by an Egyptian peasant in order to light his fire.
