Where does the confidence come from?

It may surprise you when the spirit of Jesus and of God his father enters into your being and begins to enlighten you in the scriptures and other things if you seriously get into the scriptures. This is the personal thing that confirms faith, effects peace in the soul and understanding to the mind relative to life, where the world is going and why things are as they are.

What, exactly, Buzsaw, makes you so confident that you gain positive factors in these categories from when "the spirit of Jesus and of God his father enters into your being and begins to enlighten you in the scriptures and other things"?
Especially since I can tell you that I have all these things to a much clearer and in a more powerful sense then any religiously inclined person I've ever met, including the internet, or even heard about at all.
And I am not religious, and certainly do not conform to your religion.
So if I can get all these things in a stronger, more sincere sense from mundane sources, why would you be so confident that they originally come from your particular religion?
