Except Sodom and Gomorrah were condemned as unpreferable outcomes by Christ himself as a direct rejection of his teachings, and they (Sodom and Gomorrah) are described in Isaiah 1 in fine detail - a picture of what the west is today.
What is wrong with not wanting to live in a simulacrum of Sodom and Gomorrah?
Sodom was much worse than the world westerners live in.
When you read the passage, it really isn't about homosexuality. You had a guy invite 2 men into his house whom were guests.
Then a lynch-mob-rape-gang formed and demanded that the two guests be brought out before them so that they could be raped as punishment for being outside. When the man offered his daughter, it was a demonstration of their intent. There was no sexual desire behind it, but a need to punish a random foreigner for daring to be an invited guest, and as such their brutal gang rape was going to be a symbol of dominance by the lynch mob.
Yeah, no, I get why the angels then proceeded to blind them and draw swords to hold the insane rape-lynch-mob at bay. Then they proceeded to evacuate, and bomb the city from orbit because there was not even one good person left who didn't support that insane mob.
God's wrath seems pretty reasonable in that case.
In terms of its visceral nature certainly, comparable to the rape mobbings in India no doubt - however, spiritually you can't escape this outcome if all of the pillars of Sodom are present. I look to all of the countries being flooded with turbanites and see nothing but the very same - almost all you hear about is rape, rape, rape. The germ of this is of course very present in our very naive ideas of multiculturalism and corrupt political system.
"Your land is desolate, Your cities are burned with fire; As for your fields, strangers are devouring them in front of you; It is desolation, as overthrown by strangers. 8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, Like a watchman’s hut in a cucumber field, like a city under watch. 9 If the Lord of armies Had not left us a few survivors, We would be like Sodom, We would be like Gomorrah."
Sounds mighty familiar, being under corrupt occupation and being pillaged by the lapels of our own kindness towards others.
"10 Hear the word of the Lord, You rulers of Sodom; Listen to the instruction of our God, You people of Gomorrah!"
I can think of a few people this should address.
"22 Your silver has become [i]waste matter, Your drink diluted with water. 23 Your rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe And chases after gifts. They do not obtain justice for the [j]orphan, Nor does the widow’s case come before them."
Lobbyists in a nutshell.
what was gomorrah's thing, anyway?
Presumably the same laundry list of sin. They are very rarely addressed seperately.
