PLASTIC JESUS ON A STICK PEOPLE, THE POINT OF THE TALE OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SEX. QUIT MAKING IT A LESSON ABOUT SEX. CAN PEOPLE THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE? EVERYONE - ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS DEBATE - NEEDS TO SHUT. THE FUCK. UP ABOUT SODOM AND GOMORRAH. ARGH.
Seriously, for anyone on either side of this debate, there are better verses to illustrate your point and your repeated invocation of the story of Sodom makes you sound like an idiot who didn’t bother to do a lick of research. Which, frankly, you probably are.
The POINT of the story has to do with hospitality customs and guest law. It has to do with cruelty to strangers in a time when the customs and laws of hospitality dictated that the duty of city elders was to provide food and shelter for strangers. A time when any injury to a guest would be visited back upon the host. The point is that the men of Sodom totally disregarded these customs and that Lot, in the most extreme way imaginable, upheld them. Can you wrap your tiny brain around that or are you so obsessed with sex that you can’t think about anything else?

PK, go back and read the whole thing instead of cherry picking the verses you like and then, go get yourself some historical context.Posted by Research 25th September 2009
(Though one could argue that it wasn`t inhospitality per se, but breaking trust between guest and host; per Jewish guest law, to a stranger, the entire town was host.)Posted by Research 25th September 2009
Mess. That should be “hope you don`t.“Posted by Anonymous 4th October 2009
Dude you look like you just copied and pasted shit off the internet.. God doesn’t kill people for being inhospitable! You ramble on about shrimp and Jews to make you point.. They have nothing to do with anything.. you look like an idiot!Posted by Anonymous 10th October 2009

Genesis 19 says two angels, disguised as human men, visit the towns, and stay w/LOT. The Bible then tells us, “Before they went to bed, all the men from Sodom surrounded the house. They called, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.?The angels then blind all the men. “The LORD then destroyed the cities.? All the men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to have sex with the men that came with LOT. While the men of Sodom and Gomorrah were certainly being inhospitable, that was not the problem. The men of Sodom and Gomorrah desired to perform homosexual rape on the angels. Also, God never declared inhospitality to be an abomination to Him, while Leviticus 18:22 makes God?s view on homosexuality clear ?Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.? While Sodom and Gomorrah were guilty of many other sins, homosexuality was the reason God destroyed the cities.You should do YOUR research. Cuz you look like an idiot.
