What are the chances of these happening? I'm asking because I think it's not yet over.
- First time I ever flew out of the country to USA, they were hit by worst recession since the great depression and a string of severe weather.
- 2nd flight overseas to Hong Kong, my city got hit by the worst flooding in decades with many casualties
- 3rd flight out of the country to New Zealand, New Zealand got hit by a powerful earthquake
- Job offer in NZ, they got hit by another earthquake but this time with many fatalities, Japan EQ followed suit. NZ also experience a string of weather anomalies
- Climbed a volcano in NZ and then it erupted after a century slumber.
- Left NZ, and they got hit by worst drought in decades
- Bday in home country, same day got hit by record breaking storm in damage and deaths caused
- Flew to Middle East and they were hit by MERS virus.
- A few months later, close relatives of several people I work with in Middle East died.
- Few of my colleagues suffered severe illnesses
- All my potential sponsors for scientific research suffered terrible misfortunes, setbacks, and ultimately gone (project cancelled) - in a few of these, the setbacks were caused by sudden uprisings/regional wars.
- A friend who tried to help me met two accidents that were quite serious with one totaled car but miraculously escaped any permanent injury.
Those who escaped this fate that has something to do with me are coincidentally "deeply religious Christians".
So I think there's a clear pattern here that's not just mere coincidences. I'm not here to promote Christianity either. Sometimes I think there are malevolent forces out there that's pressuring us to accept the ignorance of religion.
My question is, what's really going on?? Mere coincidences?? Should I refrain from traveling anymore?? Did someone put a curse on me??
I never dabbled with the occult. I was a Christian when it first happened, I left church last 2012 and it did not stop. People have been praying for me but nothing is working.

Thanks for all the funny replies! Stars for everyone!
Although I am still serious.
Forgot few more things,
- a week before my dog died which I have no clue, we experienced severe thunderstorms for one week here in the desert! And it actually flooded for the first time since 2009!
- The first documented case of MERS since 2012 occured just a week after my job offer in the Middle East.
- A week before my flight to Middle East, flight MH370 vanished. Amelia Earheart who vanished in 1937 (note the #37) actually looks quite like my mom. I also look like her when I was younger and I had obsession of being a pilot but never did. My personality is quite like Ameliea Earhart all my life but only got to read about her life recently.
- I had a big argument at work and in the accommodation - the only time it ever happened up to now. It happened on the same day MH17 was shot down over Ukraine - July 17 @ 1700 hrs
Someone pointed out the Nepali Earthquake.
Welll..... A close colleague of mine who is a Nepali, returned from his vacation in Nepal a few days ago.
I did the math and the huge, improbable events and the odds are staggeringly low
I'm planning to go home on October 2015 on a vacation and leave Middle East permanently on March 2016 but it might happen sooner.
Watch out for those dates on Middle East! It was my departure from USA when the recession revealed its ugly face and people started losing jobs!
I have no plans of returning to USA, unless someone offers me a job there which is quite unlikely. I do have plans of returning to Middle East post March 2016 if it hasn't been torn by war yet.
Anyone have no objections of me coming back to Middle East in 2016???
My presence does not seem correlated to the huge events, it's when I move from one place to another. Long distance travel and when I'm in a fit of huge emotional tensions - the type that causes my body to vibrate. When I'm really really angry for example, I feel like I'm entering OOBE (out of body) while fully conscious. When I was a kiddo, it happened when I was really really scared and things around the house started vibrating and moving on its own. I never witnessed it again but I suspect it still happens when I'm sleeping.
I seemed to have lost the "ability" when I reached puberty. I think testosterone suppressed it - the stupidity and violence hormone that afflicts anyone who has it.
I suspect I could be possessed by possibly the same entity since childhood. It never hurt me, I never lost control (only partial at times but then it never did anything harmful), it seems to protect me, it kept me from being influenced by the church (I was a Christian for 20 years due to my parents). I'm not going to say it's not scary because it is when it manifests. But now, I'm not as afraid anymore. I became more confident dealing with it.
THis entity is obviously fighting against religion against another entity who's taken hold of religious people.
Patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders often maintain deviating views on cause-effect relationships, especially when positive and disorganization symptoms are manifest. Altered perceived causality is prominent in delusional ideation, in ideas of reference, and in the mentalizing ability (theory of mind [ToM]) of patients.
Most schizophrenia spectrum patients report that their phenomenological appraisals of self, others, and environment have undergone marked changes in the course of the disorder. Many of these changes affect agency and causality, ie, the issue of who causes actions and events and how events are causally linked. Patients' views on the relationships between causes and effects often deviate markedly from what other people think. This is especially true when positive symptoms are manifest—a person with delusional ideation, eg, believes in causal links that are deemed bizarre by external observers. In addition to paranoid and delusional ideas, a person may sense an immediate link between him- or herself and external events.1 In such “ideas of reference,” a person perceives causal relationships between him- or herself and the social environment when in fact there are none. The disorganization syndrome of schizophrenia is characterized by altered causality as well, yet in a different manner.

Yeah, I'm a christian. Curses don't affect me. In fact, they seem to rebound back on those who curse me. Same with anyone who messes with me--I never personally get revenge but they always seem to get what's coming to them on that front.
Have you considered becoming a christian yourself? Just might change things before the disaster hits closer to home. Idk if you're cursed or not. I don't have enough knowledge in that department.

It's a staggering improbability.

There are three famous people I know who had similar experiences, one is Nikola Tesla, another is Adolf Hitler and our current Pope Francis.

Surely you can share some calculations showing why it's a staggering improbability because it's not.
