In a sense they are right.
Not the God sent floods sense obviously. But the changing values that reduced the importance attached to family life led pretty direclly to an increased need for housing which led pretty much directly to the propensity for areas to flood more readily than in the past.

Bollocks. He includes the acceptance of gay marriage as one of the reasons his all-powerful god has sent the rains. One thing gay marriage doesn't do is create an over-population issue. In fact, why is it that many of the countries with the fastest population growth (and the accompanying issues of poverty, disease , etc.) are predominantly Christian countries with the church holding a strong political power to influence policy?

Maybe his church in this country can give away the thousands of acres of land it owns to let people live on that rather than in areas prone to flooding.

One of three bishops quoted made reference to the gay marriage issue

Do you disagree with this .. "We are all part of the problem and part of the solution. Instead of living as if we owned the earth we need to recover a sense of being participants in a web of life with responsibilities to other life forms and to our children."

The reference to God may be counter to your beliefs, and the role that Bishops fill may be something you dislike, but are really arguing that that sentence is bollocks?

Are you really asking Kin to comment rationally where someone professing a christian faith is involved ? Good luck with that

Of course we need to act responsibly as a species if we're not going to put many of our species in jeopardy through over-population and overuse and blatant misuse of resources. However, we're splendidly failing at that and whilst a very small percentage live with far more than adequate means, a large and growing number of people live and die in poverty. Don't need a bloke in a fancy cassock who talks to an imaginary being to tell me that, and neither do any of them put forward any practical solutions.

I don't think that everyone is part of the problem though. Some are more culpable than others.

Instructions on shampoo bottles.  Seriously...who actually needs them?!

The manufacturers, cos loads of people follow what the instructions say. The one time you don't need to wash your hair in 10 seconds after you have just washed it, yet a lot of people do just that and use double the amount of the product cos the manufacturers tell them to. It is one of the biggest cons in marketing, but they have got away with it for ever.

The whole culture of scratchcards?

A few years ago there were no scratchcards but now they're everywhere. These days supermarkets hide cigarettes in case fancy colours attract the unwitting but display an explosion of razzle dazzle scratchcards instead. I saw this week there is now a £10 scratchcard. A mofo £10 scratchcard. What's more I see people picking 2 or 3 different ones like there's some measure of skill in it, "I'll have a number 1, and err a number 3, and errrr, no wait TWO number 3". Ahaa I see what you did there. The worst aspect is the brazen scratching it off at the counter habit. When I go and buy cigs on giro day there will always be clusters of jobseekers feverishly scratching away with their 2p. It's like stumbling on a group of crack addicts in a stairwell.
