    A legal “Act of God” is a term of art in legal documents, though - usually found in a force majeure clause. I don’t think you need to have a God to have an “Act of God”.

    It’s just a good portion of our legal code and its terms are derived from English law from several hundred years ago.

















  • That’s fair. Thanks for the reminder.

    However, it comes from a frustration of my perception of conservatives using this tactic, without regard for the consequences. And I’m probably doing it again, dammit. But at least I’m mindful about it, right?

    Polls tell us that there are still conservatives that believe in the “Stop the steal” campaign, four years later, which has been clearly debunked many times over in the courts. I have never seen similar campaigns or conspiracies on the left. Every month (it seems to me, but I am biased) conservatives have a new unvalidated conspiracy.

    So, yeah. I guess I am making an appeal to their hypocrisy. And I’m frustrated as to what to do about it.

    That being said, thank you for your valid and thoughtful criticism.
