nope - it just struck me as a funny irony... but if nothing else,
the word "God" sure does make a nice 'word' we can use
when 'random act of chaos (or fill in the blank with another
word)' is just a bit too vague. 
 
I used to write a lot of musician contracts...what happens
when you can't get to the gig because travel conditions
are hindered...(flat tire, airplane malfunction, accident, storm
that stops traffic)...is all covered under "Act of God" , the word 
does come in handy from time to time...
