I love this act of god bullshit. When I was in my early 20's some guy had a stroke and rear ended my car. His insurance agent told me that it was an act of god. I told him I was gonna get an active attorney. Fucker. I had a check by the end of the week.
Seriously though, this god bullshit is such an excuse that weak minded people use and i'm getting sick of it. When they can't explain something, ohh its god. He works in mysterious ways.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry Monday offered a stern warning against halting oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico in the wake of a massive oil leak, and he raised the question of whether the explosion was an ?act of God.?
The Republican governor, speaking at the Chamber of Commerce in Washington, warned against a ?a knee-jerk reaction? to the spill and said the government doesn?t know what caused the leak, which took 11 lives and threatens the Gulf coast?s vast fishing industry.
?We don?t know what the event that has allowed for this massive oil to be released,? Perry said alongside several other governors on a panel Monday. ?And until we know that, I hope we don?t see a knee-jerk reaction across this country that says we?re going to shut down drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, because the cost to this country will be staggering.?
Perry questioned whether the spill was ?just an act of God that occurred? and said that any ?politically driven? decisions could put the U.S. in further economic peril.
?From time to time there are going to be things that occur that are acts of God that cannot be prevented,? Perry said.
His line of thinking offers a foil to liberal groups and lawmakers who are calling for an immediate halting in off-shore drilling, something that the Obama administration has championed. MoveOn called for President Barack Obama to reinstate the ban on off-shore drilling Monday.
