The Rt. Reverend Graham Dow, a senior church of England bishop, says the recent floods in England are a result of Western society turnig against bliblical teachings. What say you?

There have been floods throughout all of human history.
Each and every time they occur, there's some religious nutjob who uses the opportunity to proclaim "Oh lordie, lordie, we's all gonna die!!"
This has been occurring since the beginning of recorded history (see: Phoenician, Babylonian, Egyptian flood myths, not to mention Noah's Ark).
Same goes for hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, and every other natural disaster.
In all of the millions of prophecies of doom that have accompanied these events, none of them have yet spelled the end of mankind.
It has now become the 'boy who cried wolf' situation. Even if they are eventually right, no one will listen because they've said it way too many times before.

He is wrong.
This Rev. G.D, needs to read the scripture out of his own Bible that says at Ecclsiastes 9:11 "I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor; because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all. 12 For man also does not know his time. Just like fishes that are being taken in an evil net, and like birds that are being taken in a trap, so the sons of men themselves are being ensnared at a calamitous time, when it falls upon them suddenly."

Well, I know in my own life sometimes God has brought bad upon me to speak to me about my sin. It is effective. As far as the floods go, who's to say, but I think it is a possibity.

Maybe, there are floods everywhere now, as we are in the very last days before Jesus returns to this earth.

Bible teaches about caring for the earth - global warming is the result of the abuse of our resources. Sounds accurate to me.
