According to these guys the floods are due to the intolerance of God. We in the liberal world who give succour to homosexuals have offended god and he has made it rain in Yorkshire. Given my understanding of tolerance in Yorkshire that would be the last place one would expect it to rain.
Its nice to see that the church has moved on since the dark ages. It would be too simple for them to take some unexplained natural phenomenon and to preach that it was gods retribution for not behaving according to gods rules.
I trust these Bishops consider that this approach applies to all natural disasters over the years from Noahs flood to the Tsunami, to earthquakes, hurricanes, and every other "act of god".
As a fringe Christian who at least believes in some degree of spirituality I am more convinced than ever that the mainstream church as an organisation is no longer relevant or credible.
In view of this enlightened approach by senior figures in the church I guess we should either sacrifice a virgin or burn a witch to make amends for our mistakes.
