So what does, Acts of God mean exactly? That only God created the
situation and therefore nobody is responsible?


It is just a term, used in many legal documents, that indicates that
the event was inexplicable. It is an "an act of God", for example, if
a sudden storm arises and blows your barn down.

I say bull **** on that. If i get struck by lightning while standing
on the pitcher's mound is that an act of God or should I have been
able to recognize lightning and seek a safer spot? How about flash
flood and yu get swept away while camping in a stream bed? How about
eating ****, never exersizing, and smoking all your life and then at


You are driving down the road and a deer jumps out in front of you and
you wreck your car avoiding it?

45 yo ur doctor says u have high blood preasure. Is that an act of
god?


its easy to say god did it. That makes you a totally not responsible
for anything. When two vessesl collide is one vessel always found at
fault and the other 100% free of fault?

Acts of god are a dolts way of saying, I dont want to sholder any
responsibilty. I want to be blameless. Im a childish republican who
thinks igorance is just cause for injury, death, and loss of property

Rather then ask a lot of irrational questions you might try googleing
the term. The Wiki has a pretty detailed explanation.
