Athiest to claim insurance for Acts of God

That made me chuckle. As others have said though it does not invalidate Atheism,but just shows the religious/political climate that we live in. I'm not Atheist, I believe in a god, but at the same time I understand how frustrating it is to live with a belief that isn't "Mainstream" so to speak or I should most likely say the cultural norm. It isn't the Atheist's fault that insurance companies attribute natural disasters and the like to a god. ~Syra~

"Act of God" is basically just another term for a natural disaster. I know my insurance company has them called natural disasters, but Act of God is just a nickname for them. If I were to claim my insurance on them, it in no way negates my lack of belief in a god. I know that my house/car/beloved games console got trashed in a tornado or a flood, rather than a god doing anything. What my insurance company chooses to call it is irrelevant. I don't need to believe in god to claim money back because of a natural disaster.

Good point. But I'm sure an atheist or agnostic would take any loophole they could get, even if it would mean saying there were acts of God.

If God is all-good and God created evil, then does God negate himself and cease to be real?

That's a good question. Although, everybody can claim that their atheists just to be granted insurance so that's a loophole to the idea. Maybe a legal advisor can answer, and I didn't take law as a course so..

I'm not an atheist but if i were one i would still get an insurance for acts of God because it's my only protection i have to the damage it might cause to my property irregardless of what the insurance will name it be it the act of God or act of Satan.

That made me chuckle. It doesn't invalidate atheism, since it's the insurance company's definition of an act of God, not the individual's. If the insuring company is run by an atheist, that could raise questions... though, of course, "act of God" is just a term used to mean "uncontrollable scary stuff that happens".

A real athiest doesn't believe in god so why should he/she claim? Only religious people have always something to claim and complain.
