Either way, I am unsure if it matters. We still feel pain, emotions etc no matter what.

I believe there are both acausal and causal connections

@Mopac
a synchronicity has an acausal connection. A coincidence has no connection.

Are they just "coincidences"?
Are they proof that everything is predetermined?
Or something else?

What is your world-view?
How did the universe come into existence?
Is there any purpose to existence?
Why do you believe what you believe?

@Castin
Why do you think God chose to speak to you?
>>I think it is my time to wake up
What did his presence feel like? Warm? Scary? Familiar? Alien? Loving, distant, etc?
>>overwhelming.powerful.but not scary

@Castin
Do you talk to God?
>> yes
What's this experience like? Is it one-way, where you're sending God prayers, or does God ever touch your mind in response? If there is a response, what is it like? Does God respond in words? Is it just a feeling or emotion, like a wordless sense of wellbeing or reassurance?
>> God has spoken to me on two occasions,and I have felt his presence
Is there ever a doubting part of you that whispers that you're just talking to yourself? If so, how do you overcome it? Is there a quality to "God's voice" that is immediately and fundamentally distinct from your own inner voice, so that you can always tell when it's supposedly God and when it's just your own mind?
>> yes I have doubts

@secularmerlin
Just because you haven't experienced something, doesn't mean it's not part of shared reality. It's just not your personal experience.
As for how you are supposed to address the topic, I'm not sure. Maybe you have questions?

An evolution "just so' story with no validity.

Nigredo, albedo, rubedo, these are the three main stages of spiritual alchemy. Nigredo is the stirring up of unconscious material into the conscious. Albedo is the processing. Rubedo is the end result and enlightenment, the fixing of the higher consciousness.

they are both agnostic and atheist. They don't have any reason to believe, and they do not know enough to believe

Those are just words. They mean nothing to me. Try to be less cryptic. Why are you making it difficult? Don't you want to be understood?

@SkepticalOne
So? We still chose our actions.
I don't believe abortion is morally sound. However, I choose not to interfere with other people's choice in the matter. Homosexuality is distasteful to me. But I choose not to interfere with their right to be together. My list could go on. But I think you get the picture. I don't see why my religious beliefs would be any different.
We can chose actions that go against our instincts, so why not our beliefs?

Beliefs don't cause harm. Actions (or inaction) do.
