The Right Reverend Graham Dow, a Bishop in the Church of England, explains why Great Britain has suffered severe flooding recently:
This is a strong and definite judgment because the world has been arrogant in going its own way. We are reaping the consequences of our moral degradation, as well as the environmental damage that we have caused…. We are in serious moral trouble because every type of lifestyle is now regarded as legitimate…. 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….The sexual orientation regulations 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.
It’s the gays, then, is it? OK, let’s have a quick Religious Morality Weather Forecast:
The 10-day forecast for San Francisco, California — Gay City Central! — is for partly to mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the sixties, a relief from the heat wave striking the rest of the country. No floods. In Boston, Massachusetts, where same-sex marriage is legal, only three out of 10 days are predicted to have any rain, and temperatures are to drift down into the eighties.
But Singapore, where authorities are banning pictures of gay people, the forecast is for six out of ten days of rain.
Who is Yahweh chastising here?
