THe destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah

God sent three angels to Sodom and Gomorrah to gauge the wickedness and evil being exemplified on those cities. The leader of the Angels spoke with Abraham, who talked him out of destroying the cities if there were 10 righteous people who lived there. However, when the angels met with Abraham's son, Lot, they were met with rioting, and god struck down the cities with a sulfur rain, sparing only Lot and his family.

I don't necessarily believe Karma or some high power punishing those who have committed sins. I believe if a person has wronged enough people it will catch up to them, and justice will be served. I know that this is not the case in many examples though, many people who are deemed successful in life and life long accomplished lives have often excelled at the expensive of someone else, and this kind of manipulation goes un punished. It is a bleak outlook, but I am a realist, and sometimes, especially in this case, I am a pessimist.
