Just stop. You don't know what you are talking about. Not everyone on here is ignorant and just waiting breathlessly for you to tell us how the Bible is full of fairy tales and the inventions of men.
Sorry you feel that way.

On your chapter of Mark thing, the longer ending of Mark 16 was present by the second century and it was in oral traditions present in the early church within decades of the resurrection of Jesus.
It was still up for debate at the first council of Nicea in 325 and a large number of those present were opposed to them being included in the canon.
In addition, the fourth-century church fathers Eusebius and Jerome noted that almost all Greek manuscripts available to them lacked verses 9-20.

Jerome was so certain that it didn't belong that he left it in the Vulgate. Justin Martyr cited the passage 4 times. Irenaeus, Tatian, Hippolytus and Dionysius of Alexandria all reference the passage. So, pretending that it's a settled issue and it's "definitively" inauthentic is a bit too much.
