(The following is a paraphrase and/or the idea:

Pastor Jahaziel Rodríguez, in a YouTube video (the video is in Spanish), mentioned that a scientific study was conducted on 40,000 people, which evaluated the effect that reading the Bible had on them. He did mention the following results, which I've found on a web page)

${}$

" [...] A steady climb of impact would have been expected, but that was not the case. The level was basically stagnant over days one and two, with a small bump on day three. But when day four was reached, the effects spiked in an astounding way. The stunning findings included the following:

Feeling lonely drops 30%
Anger issues drop 32%
Bitterness in relationships drops 40%
Alcoholism drops 57%
Sex outside of marriage drops 68%
Feeling spiritually stagnant drops 60%
Viewing pornography drops 61%
Sharing your faith jumps 200%
Discipling others jumps 230%

[...]"
