Newspaper round-up
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.
The Sunday Telegraph reports that 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 for them, bet that plod won't be out for them.

..or maybe it's because so much of the land has been altered to the point the Earth in that area cannot soak up the rainwater, forcing it to sit on the land as opposed to under it..
Who knows.
I promise to listen to my RE teacher in my next life. can I have the Sun back at weekends please

Compared to your local mosque, it is. Mind you its almost a pleasant change to come across a CoE bishop who believes in anything much, these days.
No, dibble wont be chasing them because of what they say about gays, homos, pervs, whatever you call them these days. Religious belief is protected, at least organised religion is. Personally I can find nothing to tell me which is right - the belief system that says Gay is good, and the belief system that says Gay is bad. Both are beliefs rather than facts. So

I think it's rather more a result of ignoring the principal that if you restrict the water from going where it would normally go by getting rid of water meadows etc, it will go somewhere else!

No I'd go for the 1st option, as for why well just take a look at that useless fat bitch Elton John.

Floods the fault of gays, from the lips of theoretically intelligent people !
This type of thing makes me wonder why we ever bothered crawling out of the primordial soup !
If it wasn't so tragic it'd be funny !
