Why are Acts of God always bad things?

I mean, think about it. Some natural disaster happens, and you get wingbats like Fred Phelps and the "We Think Everyone Else Is Going To Hell" Tabernacle Choir saying that it's because God was pissed that we're coddling gays or some other such bullshit.

Let's face it. If you're a diehard fundamentalist Christian, isn't EVERYTHING an Act of God?

"I don't have any butter for my toast. It's an Act of God."
"I got sniped at the last second on an eBay auction. Darnit, God, shouldn't you have a cuckoo clock already?"
"A mime just got hit by a truck. Yay Jesus!"

Hrm... "Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads.

I suppose there are worse songs to have running through my head.
