Warranty information uses God to explain natural disasters?

We just bought a Fan and this sentence was in the warranty paper. I can't believe that they actually say that God is the cause for fires, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes. And that's on a warranty paper. What do you all think about it?

No longer legal here,but war and civil unrest may void some policies. In this state laws were changed in 1954 after an earthquake. Insurance companies used that 'act of God' BS to get out of paying.


You could try suing them.I think success might depend a bit on where you lived.

You could try suing God via people who claim to represent him. Thinking

If you haven't seen it,I recommend 'The Man Who Sues God' starring Billy Connelly.


Quote:Advocate Steve Myers, a disillusioned lawyer who becomes fed-up with the perceived corruption within the judicial system. He quits the law business and buys a small fishing boat and takes up fishing for a living. His fishing boat is struck by lightning and explodes into pieces, burns and sinks. He informs his insurance company, which reviews and then subsequently declines his claim on the grounds that it is not liable as his fishing boat was destroyed due to an 'Act of God'. Frustrated that his claim is repeatedly declined, Steve files a claim against God, naming church officials as representatives of God, and thereby the respondents. The church leaders, their respective lawyers, as well as their insurance company get together to find a way to settle this dilemma, which does catch the fancy of the media. It is in Court that God's representatives will have to admit that the destruction of Steve's fishing boat was actually God's Act, accept it, and compensate him, or deny it altogether, and thereby deny God's existence, and leave the onus on Steve to prove his claim.
