So you are saying the bible contains this code whereby every number/date of an event etc adds up in some loose-fitting, round-a-bout way to 9/11? Despite the fact that the Christian calendar that we use today wasn't in use then?
Not every event in the Bible, or in life, is related to 9/11. However, an unusualy high number of biblical narratives and prophecies do seem to be encoded with the number 11 and related numbers and these passages are meaningfully related to 9/11. To take just a scattering of examples:
1. Genesis 11: the tower of Babel, which God stopped man building because of man's hubris.
2. Genesis 22: Abraham's substitution of a ram (which was caught by its horns in a bush) for his son. This story prefigured the Crucifixion and 9/11, which was another 'crucifixion'.
3. Exodus 27 and 38: the altar of burnt offering. 9/11 was a 'burnt offering'. These are the Bible's 77th and 88th chapters.
4. 1 Samuel, 17:49: David killing Goliath with a single slingshot. 1749 = 11 x 59
5. Isaiah 31:25 A prophecy of 'the day of destruction, when the towers fall'. 3125 = 11 x 11 x 5 x 5
6. Daniel 8: The flying goat shattering the two horns of the strutting Ram. Daniel 8 is the Bible's 858th chapter, 858 being 11 x 78
7. Mark 11: Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, his overturning of the tables of the money changers and his cursing a fig tree. Mark 11 is the Bible's 968th chapter. 968 = 11 x 11 x 8.
8. Revelation 11: The two witnesses, who are destroyed and whose bodies lie in the great city.
I haven't gone into the gematria of any of these passages, but there are plenty of elevens there too.

Not everything is a metaphor for the incidents of 11th September. When I was young I most likely knocked over a stack of blocks, you know the ones children play with? Does that represent 9/11?
No.

You seem to be basing a lot of your ideas on movies. Why is that?
Because the writers of these movies and any books they were based on were influenced by the 'psychic shockwaves' from the 9/11 incident, just as biblical prophets such as the one we know as Daniel were. Synchronicity did the rest.

Do films inherently contain messages from god? Don't answer that.
Yes

I wonder why some people think this way? Are they so blinded by their beliefs that they refuse to believe other people are responsible for their actions?
Unlike most religious people I don't have any theology to defend here. This is because I was an atheist/agnostic for most of my adult life. So any beliefs I held then were closer to what you write here. My lack of emotional attachment to any theology - even Christian theology, and this holds true to this day - was a distinct advantage as I struggled to understand what the code was all about.

9/11 was not a message from god. It was not a sign from some all-seeing deity. It wasn't a warning from an omnipotent presence that mankind should change its ways before it is too late.
It was all of these things and much more.

It was an act of terrorism. The killing of humans by other humans. Nothing more.
It most certainly was this too, but the event was somehow controlled from 'above' to send a powerful, urgent and timely message to all humankind, who have now largely turned their backs on their Creator. Unfortunately this holds true for most Christians, who claim to worship God but in reality kneel at the alter of mammon.
