7 Stories So Ridiculous They Got Left Out Of The Bible
Every good Cracked reader obviously knows their Bible, but what about the entire genre of early Christian literature that never made it into the Good Book? We're talking about the Acts of the Apostles, which features Christ's 12 superpowered sidekicks having insane comic-book-style adventures across the ancient world.
