lol - I'm going to try this one when suing my insurance company one day.
For a serious answer, though, my understanding is that this is legally considered to be certain types of events.

Uhm if they don't cover it, what you believe doesn't hold much ground, but if you think you have a chance, go for it, tell them they should cover you for something you don't believe in.

Wasn't there a film about this? A guy had a boat struck by lightning, and the insurance wouldn't pay out as it was an "act of God" so he decided to sue God - or at least, his representatives on earth - the church.

Good point, but in a court of law the term "acts of God" would mean natural disasters like floods or earthquakes - something that can not be controlled by mankind. You might want to review your insurance policy to find out exactly what THEY mean by "acts of God".

No because they only need to believe.
BTW the term "Acts of God" is a catchall phrase for any disaster that occurs in Nature. You do believe in Nature, don't you?

My iPod warranty says something about acts of God! I couldn't believe that.
I think it's wrong, personally, as it gives them an excuse to blame anything on God.

good question! but 'acts of god' usually refer to weather or un controllable events so the lawyers put in the wording for commonality in understanding.
and as 4 paying out, no, they dont.
as long as they believe in god lol

The "attributes", or the "essence", of God are His familiar characteristics, so that they are able to't be thoroughly communicated to guy. they are able to be defined to some extent, yet they are able to't be completely defined. Gods Goodness is considered via action.

Actually - too detailed, but they can be forced to pay. I have seen a few cases.

No, it means that their are items outside of human control that are manifested by nature. Also, maybe if you started believing in God, less stuff would fall on your house. Just a thought.
