Insurance question

[OkieJohn2]

Just curious, if an insuranace policy has an Act of God clause, does it apply to atheists?

No! BUT...
The claim will be considered negligence or deliberate because the Atheist brought on Gods Wrath themselves.

Sort of like someone building a campfire on the living room carpet then putting in a claim for the destroyed house.

Either way, they won't pay

I thought act of god clauses were written by the insurance company to get out of payment.  If there was an "act of god" policy, people could claim it covered everything.

When buying coverage, insurance company lawyers like a little more specificity to the contract, such as flood, earthquake, tornado, etc. so there is not unlimited coverage.

If insurance companies could no longer get out of paying with the excuse "God did it" for athiests, a lot more people would claim to be athiest.

They get you either way!

Interesting side discussion:  the AGW cases creeping through the system have potentially huge implications to insurance law.  If sea levels, for example, rose and flooded Manhattan,  one might argue that it was not an act of God, but rather man (or men). 

For those of you who deal in these matters, you have already seen the language change in the limitations clauses.  My insurance book is now a 3-part volume.   If wish I could self-insure my company.

Kinda like an FOIA request I sent to the Sheriff's Department last week

All communications both verbal and text between 5:01 AM and 5:26 AM on the morning of 10/16/2011.

Their response:

You didn't specify a date.

@peternap, I really like your answer.
As far as your issue, you might need to ask them what specific calandar they are using.  Also do they want the usual MM/DD/YYYY format, or perhaps the DD/MM/YYY format used in Europe (and the military too I think?)  Also, since it is a legal request, perhaps it has to be in Latin?
