I wasn't alluding to Scripture AFTER Christ. I was simply saying that there may have been EXISTING gospels that did not agree with his agenda which were gathered and destroyed and some of which that he never found. As for the "shitty job" part: If there truly were miracle upon miracle in Biblical times, I would actually expect a whole lot more Scripture than is present today. If that's the case, what happened to it? In fact, what happened in Jesus' whole life between the ages of 12 and 30 or so? Aren't you even curious about why those years are absent in recorded history? Is it that he didn't do anything intereseting in the intervening years? I doubt it. BTW, I'm agnostic if anything. This is more or less an intellectual quest into an area in which some authors have made some valid empirical points and asked questions that piqued my interests. I don't mean to offend.
