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...
