Sodom and Gomorrah- Rhoman James

There were two cities that were destroyed because of their wicked ways and sexual sins including homosexuals, which is why we have the word "sodomy." It was taken from the names of these cities. God sent angels to get Lot and his family out because Abraham had prayed and asked God to spare Lot, and he also asked God would spare these cities for the sake of Lot and his family if there was 50 righteous people. The only ones that ended up surviving were Lot and his two daughters. Even his wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt. They had been told not to look back at the destruction God was sending on the cities. I think that this act can be viewed as unfair to some people because there are many ways to represent right and wrong and some may think the way God handled it was the wrong way. One problem in the US is the fact that our government tries to create standards of right and wrong and we are expected to accept their values as true. This is a reoccurring problem in our society and will continue to create conflict over the generations.
