Watching the news last night, they called the volcano an act of god.

Isn't it really just an act of nature?

According to Iran clerics the earthquakes are caused by women.

How convenient! Men blaming volcano eruptions on God and earthquakes on women.

They might be right.

The airline companies are the ones who started the act of God thing. They dont have to compensate passengers as long as they call it that. Yet the airlines are already pounding the table, begging the European governments for compensation for the losses they are taking,they are wanting another round of airline bailouts. F'em, JMO.

If I remember correctly, the earth was built from volcanic lava. At least that's what I think I learned back in the 7th grade or so. Nature IMO. But didn't god create everything? So nature itself would be an act of god. Me typing right now on my keyboard would be an act of god.

Anyway, I think volcanos are wild and found some pretty cool pictures of the eruptions.....

This post could be considered an act of God.

Act of God is what they call acts of nature. Dont ask me why! I guess the same reason they call someone with cancer who lives a miracle from god & someone with cancer who dies gods will.

God must hate the Red Sox, cause I saw them prayin' before the game.

Act of santa claus is just as relevant as calling something an act of god. When will the fairy tales end?

If I'm travelling with my own vehicle and get stuck in a blizzard can I claim act of God and sue the federal government for not having the interstate clear for me to travel?
