if you hit a deer with your car, and the insurance company doesn't raise your rates because it's deemed as "an act of God"
(it really is i swear. just happened to me.)
do you tell the insurance company you want secular insurance and have them raise your rates anyways?Floods are also "acts of God", and yet you can't find a single homeowner's insurance policy that will cover floods. You have to buy special flood insurance. Funny, huh?
Just because in a predominantly Christian society something is "deemed" something doesn't constitute proof that that thing exists, ok? You can deem something coincidence, but does that mean that there was no possible way to avoid that thing from happening? By calling something an act of God, it's just a way of saying there is no way human beings could have controlled the situation. Otherwise, your insurance company needs to send the bill to God for the repairs to your car, since he evidently was active in the event occurring.It's an act of nature. Are you saying your god planned this? what a twisted sadist.hell yes. i just killed another living being. i deserve to be punished in /some/ way. "Act of God" is a figure of speech and is not meant to be taken literally.
If it is an act of God, do you ever get mad at God for throwing a deer at your car?No. I like money and if they don't want to raise my rates then I'm not going to disagree.sorry what you believe really doesn't matter sometimes.I really don't care about semantics with God written in them. I understand what the idionym was meant for. This also includes other phrases such as: "God Bless You" and "Merry Christmas".No I just ask them if they are trying to convince me the deer is god . If they answer yes I will just say well now we are sure he is dead then aren't we ?Don't they use act of nature now?
gotta be politicaly correct. -.-"Act of God" only means that it's something that was not the victim's fault. Get a clue.
.Hahahahaha this quote I am going to save:
Bob: "If it is an act of God, do you ever get mad at God for throwing a deer at your car?"
ROFL! LOL. No thankyou...LMAO!! Secular insurance. Yeah, but I still don't want my rates to go up so we will just call it an act of evolution.
by the way, star for you sir. Secular insurance, ah ha ha.I'll just take an 'act of lack of survival instinct'. Is this secular insurance cheaper than non seuclar insurance.
Nope.
But I do ask them to provide me with a lawyer to sue this 'God' person for whiplash.No. My insurance company calls it "No fault" instead of "Acts of God".well, I don't think that getting your insurance rates raised will help the deer, so I would probably just take the freebie (of not getting rates raised)I become a believer just long enough to keep my mouth shut and hang up the phone. That's about as devout as most Christians are these days. Religion 1/4 a day per week, greed the other 6-3/4 days.Many companies are switching to "an act of nature."
yes, I'm no HippocratesNO
you keep your mouth shut
why are you putting so much thought into something you don't believe exists?
relax, im not condoning the fact that you just fllippin ran over a deer
but count your lucky stars that your insurance company is that deep into religion
(what insurance company IS this? i might go in for an estimate and ask if its still deemed 'an act of god' if you wrap your car around a pole!) Hmmmmmmm... lol
Nope, it's their reasoning not mine...Tell that to all the people at an Airline I used to work for who wanted to complain about and be conpensated for their flight being cancelled due to the weather...which is an Act of God...
Airlines don't compensate for God's acts...Then I tell them to label it An Act of Probability, and get on with my lifeHaha. No, I'd take it in my stride and see it as one of the few benefits that religion has on society.Did you know that in WV you have to claim the dear ran into you to enact the god clause of the insurance? If you claim you hit the deer, the insurance company won't pay out here.In contemporary terminology, an "act of God" in insurance is just colloquial for natural factors (storms, wind, wildlife) that you had no direct control over.No, and last time I opened my insurance bill, saw the price and screamed "WHAT THE HELL?" didn't mean I really wanted my insurance agent to go to hell, either.
Language would lose its flavor if we demanded everything be taken literally. And people who lack imagination to see beyond literal language...well, here, we call them fundies.Get a better insurance company.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
