Why do Christians trust the Bible?

[Drich]

That's fair. My point is that people of different religions claim to have divine revelations or be able to experience God. I shouldn't have bothered retyping what you did with any one random religion.

That's the thing, Christianity is unique that way. One does not get to 'experience God' in anyway shape or form unless that person is claiming to be a prophet. Because their 'god' is far too easily falisifed.

Still, how do you reconcile the claims of adherents of other religions when they claim to have the same type of experiences you have?

That's another thing. It is the God of the bible's MO to take the simple quickly ignored, but faithful and use it to destroy conventional wisdom.

In all other religions, their various gods take the already 'holy/set apart/special' people and turn them into people to aspire to. The common/ignored/simple man (someone like me) gets rewarded not in this life but later on in the next. Again, the only people who can claim direct contact with their deity are considered prophets. (outside of Christanity)

Direct Contact with the Holy Spirit/God is unique to Christianity and the reason Christ died on the cross. (So we all may have direct contact with God.)
