Oh, we are?  Do you assume that about the Book of Mormon?  The Qur'an?  The
Bhagavad-gita of the Hindus?  The Avesta of the Zoroastrians?  If not, why 
not?

Do you assume that king Mesha's inscription on the Moabite Stone "is more or
less the truth"?  If not, why not?  

Theo:
The Book of Mormon has negligible evidence for it because the "eye witnesses" 
later took back their testimony.  The Qur'an commands people to believe in 
the Bible:  "You to whom the Scriptures were given!  Believe in that which We 
have revealed, confirming your won scriptures."-Sura 4:47, Dawood.  Since the 
Bible contradicts the Qur'an (compare John 3:16 and Sura 9:30, etc.), we know 
that the Qur'an is not the word of God.  I have not studied those other 
documents, but I would perhaps like to some day.  Since, however, there is 
sufficient evidence for the Bible to prove it to be the Word of God, I can 
say that those documents are inaccurate when they contradict the Bible
