Floods are judgment on society, say bishops
"In the Bible, institutional power is referred to as 'the beast', which sets itself up to control people and their morals. Our government has been playing the role of God in saying that people are free to act as they want," he said, adding that the introduction of recent pro-gay laws highlighted its determination to undermine marriage. 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." - - The Rt Rev Graham Dow, Bishop of Carlisle
In a sane world Mr Dow would now be hearing sirens, screeching tyres and the patter of feet of those nice young men in their clean white coats approaching his door and coming to take him away, Ha! Ha!
Sadly, we live in one totally fucked up world instead.
