Disasters

The term we use when we experience horrific destruction is ‘Acts of God’. It’s a term of convenience for insurance agents who don’t want to fund natural disasters.

Sometimes, in a more neutral frame of mind, we blame Mother Nature. As if your mama would inflict that upon you.

Of course, the God-fearing among us still turn to prayer when unthinkable catastrophe hits.

I, as usual, turn to a favorite atheistic catchphrase: God has a lot to answer for.
