And I've NEVER said in all of this that most Christians think the Bible has been added to or replaced. But it is easier to find Christians who claim to receive revelations claiming to supplement, enhance, etc. the Bible than it is to find Muslims claiming to receive revelation adding, supplementing, etc. the Quran.
