The Holy Spirit legitimizes the bible.
Belief in and submission to Allah puts Muslims before God. Following the five pillars of Islam legitimizes the Koran.
How do you reconcile this?

The part where you believe you're talking to God and that he's telling you what you want to hear. How do you know you're not just having a dopamine rush from convincing yourself you're right? Or do you actually hear the Holy Spirit talk as opposed to experiencing a vague, happy feeling? Everyone who's always described the Holy Spirit always describes it as something vague and not really explainable.

Bullshit. We can totally read the contents of a hard drive, just because we can't see the bits inside the drive by looking at the outside of it with our naked eyes.
You need a better analogy.
