It's not just American evangelical leaders that can be callous and stupid….

From the Daily Telegraph (via the New Humanist):

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.
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.

This kind of “vengeful God hates fags so much that he’s willing to punish innocent people” stuff is par for the course from American evangelicals like Falwell and Robertson, but I thought Anglican bishops were a wee bit smarter. Apparently not.
