I'm not sure of the details you recount of this, but, the human mind is capable of drastically misinterpreting experiences. It is probable your mind had some sort of experience, but your interpretation is incorrect.
If a Hindu told you, with the same conviction as you have for your experience, that he took a trip to Naraka (Hindu hell), would you be convinced that he was recounting the truth?
Quote:my contraction of HIV/my miraculous recovery
There have been a few cases of natural remissions.
But think about what you're saying. There are a million people dying of AIDS all over Africa every year, and your god has the ability to cure them, but instead he cures one person in a country with advanced medical science?
If this god actually did exist, as a moral person, you should be praying every day that your god reinfects you with AIDS and cures the 1300 that are dying every day in Africa. That's what I would do.

Not typical yes, miracle, no.
My cousin was a heroin addicted prostitute on the streets of Hollywood for almost 10 years. She stopped both behaviors in a single day.
You got nothing special.
Quote:My business, and how it was established, The 25K dollar loan that I got from a stranger that I had only met once before he offered an intrest free loan
Do you believe you are the only person that has ever received a large loan from a stranger? Do you think that every large loan from a stranger is miraculous?
And you wonder why we're not impressed.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
