That's something I personally like to call coincidence, which is very profound no matter what you believe, but you probably wouldn't notice that. Ask and ye shall receive, dude.
Revelation, by definition, cannot be passed on. It becomes hearsay. Claims of this kind are also not unique to any one religion and those religions seem to be mutually exclusive, so it becomes trickey.
Coincidence, I wouldn't call profound at all. I'd call direct causation of a "God" or set of gods profound.
As for "asking"...that assumes that there is something to ask of...
Man is a marvelous curiosity … he thinks he is the Creator's pet … he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea.
