Asked why god allows disasters such as the Haiti earthquake, the BBC reports John Sentamu, Archbishop of York, as saying"I have nothing to say that makes sense of this horror - all I know is that the message of the death and resurrection of Jesus is that he is with us."

Translation: "I have absolutely nothing useful to say, but if you want one, here's a platitude".

Final score: Real Life = 1, Church of England = 0

And people still spend Sunday mornings listending to this stuff?
