My own faith in Jesus is the result of reading the Bible and 'sensing' (sorry if that sounds lame) truth and then applying that 'truth' in my life. The RESULTS in my life, tell me I'm on the right track.
If you don't mind me asking, what results? Is it that you feel better? Do you now have a sense of purpose? I ask because Scientology can results for people too, but that should not be something to base beliefs on. Don't get me wrong, if it works for you great, and you should stick with the principles that are working for you. I just want you to know that results do not validate something as truth.

Which is why I said previously that you should reexamine why you believe certain things, because I can only assume that your beliefs are based upon equally shaky evidence.
