I mean, all they are is text, at best they tell us what someone believed. There's no unknown data captured to be processed or anything. Establishing their "truth" in correlation with some sort of creator is pretty impossible I would say, and highly subjective at best.
I'm just engaging the fantasy that each holy book somehow actually does point to a creator, and analyzing the possible scenarios this leads to.
I think the expression "being true" is frequently obscurantistically abused in order to not admit "it is not true in any useful way".
