How do you determine if something is an "act if god"? I mean most insurance policies strictly state that they do not cover acts of god and then they go on to list what they call an act of god. This leaves the owner of the insurance with a choice. Either they pay a hefty charge just in case they anger the almighty, or you start atteding religious worsdhip in the hopw that appeases the higher powers into bring down there venegnce on your neighbours instead. It's brainwashing by the backdoor. I can't believe Dan Brown missed it when he wrote The Da Vinci Code.
Unfortunetaly one of our customers was on the wrong end of an act of God this week. A very high powered lightning bolt struck the bulding on the Tuesday night. The lightning conductor did it's job and tried to direct the bolt away safetly until it was blown up by the sheer power of the thing. So the lightning found the next easiest place to reach the ground. Our machines! It blew apart most of our electronic equipment and actually melted bits of plastic on the machines. It finished off by frying electrical conduit and telephone line.
As you can imagine this put all of our machines out of action. Not a good thing, so I was sent out alst minute to try and get the thigns working again. This was actually quiet scary. Not becasue we couldn't get them repaired, that's the easy part. No, if this was an act of God (as the insurance company would surely claim) would I be incurring god's wrath by undoing his (or her) handywork.
I tellyou now I was sorely tempted to sacrifice a goat out on the lawn as an act of appeasement. But I have yet to do so, instead I'm just avoiding standing on any hills during bad weather and hope it's enough!
Thought for the day: If life and death are two sides of the same coin, whose hand is tossing it?

For the love of Pete, find a goat now, man! Have you not read the Old Testament?!
