That is because the "reality" of this world is based on deceit. We arrived here following a lie. This world is not a world God created for an eternity. This world will pass away and not endure. Only those things of God endure, which is why we (Christians) will have eternal life in paradise with God, and those who do not believe will have eternal life in Hell.

People claim the exact same sort of divine inspiration for other religions as well - especially Islam. Since these religions are mutually incompatible, in their details, we are left with concluding that either God is deceiving someone (or allowing Satan to deceive folks, which is much the same thing since God is in charge) or those of you with divine inspiration to believe are misinterpreting internal feelings.
The latter is my guess.

Satan has come to kill, steal and destroy. He is the "prince of this world" and he has great power here in the flesh. But because we are made in God's image, we are stronger. Nothing Satan throws at us can defeat us. We are already victorious through Jesus Christ, but many do not realize that.
The bottom line: All one has to do is study the religions of the world, including Islam and any other religion, and the truth will become evident. It will "pop off the pages" at you.
Those who choose not to study are doing themselves the greatest injustice possible, that of perpetuating the path leading toward their own damnation.
