Insuring churches. A lack of faith?

[Tmy]

Over the last couple of weeks thereve been a couple of church fires. Both of them were insured.

Isnt that a lack of faith to insure a church. Wouldnt you believe that God would protect the building?

I remeber Ned Flanders not having insurance cause he considered it a "form of gambling"

Does their insurance cover "Acts of God"? :D

[c4ts]

Of course churches need to be insured. In case an evil athiest defies God and burns it down!

Yahzi?


Where is he anyway.. This reminds me of the " Why do Christians wear seatbelts ? " thread..

I believe the Christian response to this, falls under the all encompasing copout of:

" God helps those who help themselves .."

What they fail to comprehend, is that a world in which " God helps those who help themselves .."
is indistinguishable from a world in which the people just "... Help themselves .."

[Marquis de Carabas]

Fires are God's way of saying "Build a new church."

Insurance is what He provided to pay for it.

That’s nothing
In my town, Xenia Ohio our last tornado took out 4 churches including one that I was married in. When they rebuilt it, my wife and I went to the first service, one speaker evoked Gods will in the tornado and another blamed Satan, me I snickered, my wife elbowed me.
