God exist - and he speaks to each and everyone of us through experiences and coincidences

" They all had genuine wisdom that can help mankind, but they also shared ideas that can be discarded as useless - even dangerous." Well that means that there were some philosophers in the past. You like some of what they say, and don't like other things, so you say that they were partly "divinely inspired". You say that societies collapsed because they failed to learn important lessons. What was that? The romans failed to learn about how to run an overextended military based empire when the military tries to halfway takeover, and the borders keep getting raided? Or is it the lesson that the greeks needed to learn to thrive, which is to not engage in many autonomous centralized governments? Or even the lesson of the Russians to not continue to allow your empire to fall behind because you will never 100% catch up? Or is it the lesson to not engage Russia in a assault from the west? These are the lessons that many people learned, and I fail to identify any divine influence in these events. They are simply the lessons of how to run a government. Not how to be good people, or pray to god. The romans failed after making Christianity a major religion. Today I found a 20 dollar bill on the ground. Then when I got home it was exactly four twenty. This means that god wants me to get high and celebrate hitlers birthday. That's what I'm getting out of it. You say that we are only beginning to understand it. Well, this is god. If he wanted to get messages across, he could just like facebook me or something. You can't find me if your not a friend of a friend, but he's god so I'm sure that won't be a problem. It's a little too convenient that we have to dig around for these messages. If they were so important, he could make them more obvious and more believable. I have one question about this good Friday thing. When do you think someone would try to kill you, when your in your house with maybe 50-60 guards, or when your drunk at a playhouse with your family and significantly less security? Does it make more sense that Abraham Lincoln was at the playhouse because it was a Friday night and a holiday, and due to significantly less security and an easy escape route known to him, John Wilkes Booth decided to kill him there, or that god caused it to happen so the numbers line up? Isn't god supposed to give people free will? If he caused the assassination on that day, then he violated JWB's free will. When you look at the entirety of history, some of the dates are going to match up with others. It's just cold reading. You are given one or two hints then you fill in the rest. Everyone will interperate it differently. One time (there is a psych class in my school, they do a research project involving people) they gave everyone in my class a piece of paper. They told everyone that they have their horoscope, found by using their birthdays. They asked if anyone felt their horoscope applied to them. I think maybe one or two people in a class of about 27 said no. Then they asked us to pass our horoscope to another person. you want to know what's funny. WE ALL GOT THE SAME THING. You originally compared your birthday and added international tragedies, saying that it was all a message. Everyone with your birthday got the same message, or did they? They will each interperate the message to an answer that fits them. You could show these dates to many people and they would all get different messages. Just ask your self something. is it more likely that some dates happen to line up every once in a while, and their correlations mean nothing, or that a super being is manipulating the universe to send hidden messages that can be interpreted in many different ways, so that there is no defined answer? Why would a superbeing decide to communicate this way? Why would he send vague messages that can be interpreted to the answer that suits the reader, when he could simply communicate to everyone quickly and clearly? What about the people with no access to computers or reliable history? How do they see these numbers? How can they interpret the message, when they don't have the numbers?
