	In his article, cjc@psuvm.BITNET (sorry, your name was not imbedded
in your article) said the following:  ``And then find an insurance policy
and read the list of events that are considered to be acts of God -
earthquake, flood, tornado, etc.''

	I think this stands as proof that as a race, as a species, we are
all very well aware of what kind of malevolent creature God really is,
but that in our desire to view the universe as having a benevolent father
figure in control, we avoid and ignore what we do not wish to admit. Out
of fear, out of stubborness, but not out of ignorance. We all really know
what God is like.
