Sodom was much worse than the world westerners live in.

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."
