Well would the original writings be the one most "true"? When we talk about the old testament it is a very old book dating perhaps 4000 BC and written in Hebrew. Hebrew is a language where almost every word seem to have four different meanings. Seeing how the "modern" european bibles are interpretations of the hebrew versions and done in the middle age (and therefore translated in the light of what people knew then) it should be evident that all bibles are more or less incorrect.
Folling this reasoning you get that the parts of the bible that talks about stuff that where common knowledge in the middle age would be more correct, but any section describing something not know to the middle age would be very wrong.
I my self would be very glad if i could read hebrew and thus read the original texts instead of the mad interpretations of various religions fanatics from the dark ages.

well i must admit im not that sure about when it was written(looking it up now i see that it was written 800-200 BC). But still the jews and the hebrew religion is very old indeed and most of the stories are older than the OT itself.
edit: as to the question i belive that the bible is myths written down by men. It does not have anything to do with a God of any kind. Events in the bible may very well have happened but i bilevie it to be twisted stories and myths, and for "us" bad interpretation/translation have ruined any chance of understanding the meaning of those stories.
edit2: not saying that we cant make better translations and understad the stories for what they are.
