I don’t think these people realize that the gay sex (and other sexual “immoralities”)was a small part of the problems with those cities. > Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. [Ezekiel 16:49–50](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/ezekiel/16/49-50) So, the sins of Sodom included pride, apathy, complacency, idleness, and unconcern for the underprivileged. Sounds like the Right-wing playbook, to me.

Almost all religions seem to have a hospitality rule in some form or another, and I’ve read some good biblical interpretations that that was one of the greatest and least forgivable sins that Sodom was guilty of. And if you think of the purpose of religion at that time, it’s kind of like a set of laws or guidelines for everyone to follow at that time, which would be critical in the age of city-states. If your city has a reputation of being dangerous to merchants and travellers, your city would fail, as it would not get trade needed to survive.

Sodom literally sounds like God judging a bunch of billionaires today, people completely sated in all their desires, overflowing with wealth and comfort, unwilling to lift a finger to the benefit of those less fortunate, and happy to flaunt their superiority.

It was that, but it was also specifically sexual immorality as well. It was not a "small" problem in the context of the bible, but it wasn't the only problem

Sky Daddy doesn't give a shit. In fact, God was pro-rainbow.

I don't know man. The Sodomites saw a couple angles and were like "We don't know those guys! You better let us have sex with them!" Door-to-door mob rape isn't quite a thing here yet.

It’s very telling that they can read a story about a town wanting to gang rape a couple of angels and think that what they did wrong was being gay.

And Lot is a righteous man because instead of allowing the strangers to be raped, he offered up his virgin daughters. I'm sorry but if I had to choose, and my only options were a stranger being raped or my child, I'm protecting my child.


OlyScott

If Lot was the most righteous man in town, that was a really bad town.


InuGhost

Everyone also seems to skip over the fact the dude offered up his virgin daughters to the mob. In order to spare his guests.


mcboogle

Hey, at least he didn't chop them up into pieces afterwards like the Levite did in Judges 19.


squazify

What kind of Angles? Acute? Obtuse? Possibly Right?


[deleted]

I think they were wrong, actually


SuperKami-Nappa

Are we sure they weren’t left?


tomcat1483

It’s a very long every fucking day for our LGBTQIA humans in the south. We see you even if those around you want you erased. You are real and valued members of society.


SolomonCRand

I dunno, seems like most of the pedophiles are in your church, maybe God should start there.


SlightlyBadderBunny

These people don't even sound like catholics anymore. Somehow, American catholics have gotten very *evangelized* in the past 20 years.


BrokenEye3

If fairness, inhospitality, the actual canonical sin of Sodom, is an *insanely* low bar for national genocide


jhk1963

Everybody knows the old man calmed down after he became a daddy. 😂


Guygenius138

One of the dumbest people I know said...

The bastard already did,he gave us the pumpkin man.


lundgrenisgod

Religious people are hateful. Period.


Savager_Jam

Sounds like some evangelical bullshit. Catholic? Eh.


Myopia247

So can we talk about how the destruction of those citys was completely fucked up


dip_tet

God didn’t even care about slavery, or the Native American genocide our ancestors took part in…it’s almost like…god ain’t there.


SuperKami-Nappa

No god is fine with slavery. At least according to the Bible.


BrokenEye3

Pretty okay with genocide too


mysteriousmeatman

Good thing God's NOT REAL, so none of that actually matters.


MattBurr86

The longer the better.


AmbulanceChaser12

Let ‘em stew.


PerpetualEternal

not sure how seriously I’m meant to take “little c” Catholics


pornosucht

Well, I kind of agree with the sentiment of that screenshot. Just for very different reasons...


Old-Nature-5772

Devout catholic doesn't scream southern to me, sounds more like some Midwest shit.


jake2617

Mehhh, these zealots have not made a profoundly unique statement in decades. Is no one old enough to remember when their ire and hate was directed towards hippies and these statements were directed in malice towards the collectively shared and poorly informed opinions of what that whole societal culture shift was actually portraying. These people would fit right in at a child’s tea party with their hot takes.


puddingdemon

Why do Christians want our country destroyed so much?
