>>>>>>Tell me, are there sixty six books in your Bible?

No, there are 73 books in my Bible--46 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. And the decision as to which books ended up in the Bible was made by the Catholic Church.

>>>>>>>I keep hearing this "we gave you the Bible" tripe from RCs.

"Tripe" would be a charitable description of your writings.

Believe that if you like. That does not make it so. The fact is that Judaism has recognized as received, 2/3rds of your Bible - and I can assure you, we have never had anything to do with your "canonical" councils except to be on the receiving end of vicious and hateful pronouncements from them. Your history is sadly perverted.
