One would think Catholics had gotten over Luther, but they're like jews and Hitler: can't stop kvetching because he's caused them permanent brain damage. Then again, we shouldn't expect Christians to suddenly decide to stop cursing each other’s souls to hell over the Evil Book of Jewish Nonsense and the correct way to worship the dead jew. At least they're not murdering each other over it these days. But yet again proving christians haven't learnt a thing from the terrible Wars of Religion. And so many of you have the hypocrisy to accuse us anti-Christians of being divisive. There is nothing quite like Christian unity: thousands of years of arguments over which books, which doctrines, which wordings of doctrines, and which interpretation of the dead jew are the correct ones. Christianity is the most divisive ideology ever. But back to Luther. Martin Luther did not remove books from his Bible. He just relegated the seven deuterocanonical books—Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, and Baruch (including the Letter of Jeremiah)—to a separate section, along with the Additions to Esther and Daniel. And Luther removed ZERO books from the New Testament. All 27 remained. Although he did have doubts about the status of Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation. Why should those other ancient jewish ravings matter so much anyway? After all, isn't Christianity supposed to be about rabbi jesus rather than those nasty jews whom Yahweh apparently forsook because they weren't super keen on the whole suicidal “love your enemies” shtick? But if you want to talk about Apocrypha — here's Apocrypha! I've mentioned before that in the second and third centuries there was an absolute EXPLOSION of Jesus literature: gospels, acts, epistles, revelations and apocalypses, produced by Christians, many with wildly different ideas about Jesus character himself, and its all considered "made up" fan-fiction. But of course the ones which were formally affirmed canon by the Council of Carthage in AD 397 are totally real bro. Trust those "Fathers of the Church" bro: they were guided by the Holy Spirit don't ya know.
