Here are a few helpful suggestions:

Get rid of all the "X begat Y" crap in the OT.
Condense the four gospels into one.
Get rid of at least 30 other books - no-one bothers with them anyway. :tea:

It is also incomplete. The Gospels of Mary, Judas, Thomas and Philip are missing.

Exactly ... it would keep them busy for years and years and years and ... :demon:

Either that, or they'd come to blows - or worse - about it. Especially if someone tries to bring in the apocrypha.
