How could having a religious experience lead a person to believe in God?

In: Christianity [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

If someone had a genuinely religious experience, that person would have no choice but to believe in God, or at least a god, depending on the cultural environment in which the experience was felt. One could even say that such a provably religious experience should cause us all to believe in a god.

But many apparently religious experiences are no more than profound coincidences or unexpected events that brought a moment of happiness, and are merely interpreted by some as religious experiences. In these cases, there is no reason to believe in God.
