Randomness can be seen as conflicting with the deterministic ideas of some religions, such as those where the universe is created by an omniscient deity who is aware of all past and future events. If the universe is regarded to have a purpose, then randomness can be seen as impossible.

I guess this does follow my logical train of thought, I have had the belief God exists and yet thought I was “free” to do things God couldn’t predict, however this would seemingly make it impossible for God to predict the future… hence I have tried to adopt a “compatibilist” view that somehow we are both determined and yet freely make choices.

Yet also, if we live in something of a determinist world, then there isn’t much that is truly “random”… it’s just something willed (chosen) by God which might not have a discernable pattern to us, but is the pattern purposefully chosen by God.

Anyway, any thoughts on if “true randomness” exists or what that even means?
