    It depends on what your interpretation of Divine Intervention is. I'd say its coincidence more than anything, I don't think god wastes his time on making you miserable for doing a bad deed every now and again.

    I feel two ways about this:

    1) I think we must be fairly vain to think that a divine being, one that can do anything, would actually be interested in our puny lives. I mean it's pretty absurd to think that a divine being would care enough to intervene in your specific life.

    2) Whenever I have been more spiritual I have had hotter women. So I always feel it could be possible, I wouldn't rule it out, but at the same time I don't dwell on it, since doing so is absurd.

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.
