Floods are a judgement on society, say bishops

Wasn't sure if this should go in current affairs or humour :D

Quote:

The floods that have devastated swathes of the country are God's judgment on the immorality and greed of modern society, according to senior Church of England bishops.

One diocesan bishop has even claimed that laws that have undermined marriage, including the introduction of pro-gay legislation, have provoked God to act by sending the storms that have left thousands of people homeless.

While those who have been affected by the storms are innocent victims, the bishops argue controversially that the flooding is a result of Western civilisation's decision to ignore biblical teaching.

Good to see we are still capable of producing our very own nutcases, rather than always farming this kind of thing out to our muslim brethren :D

Quote:

"The sexual orientation regulations [which give greater rights to gays] are part of a general scene of permissiveness. We are in a situation where we are liable for God's judgment, which is intended to call us to repentance."

He expressed his sympathy for those who have been hit by the weather, but said that the problem with "environmental judgment is that it is indiscriminate".

So 'God' in all his greatness punishes everyone indiscriminately....nice :dozey::rolleyes:

"This is a strong and definite judgment because the world has been arrogant in going its own way," he said. "We are reaping the consequences of our moral degradation, as well as the environmental damage that we have caused."

Yep, there's something distinctly arrogant about this. :rolleyes:

Obviously, God allowed the estate to be built so that evil people would go and live there and then be punished.....
