:''And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.'' (Gen 19:14-16)

Sodom was an ancient city located in the Holy Lands. It was considered by bible scholars to be the sister city of another populated area known as Gommorah. Both cities were destroyed in 1898 B.C. by God according the Book of Genesis in the Bible. Biblical scholars believe the destruction of these twin cities was a statement by God concerning his views of [[Homosexuality]]. According the the [[Bible]], God rained burning hot [[lava]] onto the city from the sky, and killed all of the inhabitants because they practiced state sanctioned homosexuality. The Bible also states that Lot's wife "burned in her bosom" for the ways of Sodom and was subsequently killed by God and transformed into a pillar of salt for her admiration of the Homosexual lifestyle practiced in the city.
Many Christians believe God's treatment of Sodom and Gommorah was an eternal statement on his views of Homosexuality. Notably, Two Angels of God visited the city and the Homosexual inhabitants attempted to rape both of them in front of Lot's home. The Angels struck the sodomites blind and provided safe passage for Lot, a servant of the Living God, from Sodom according the the Biblical account. During the journey from Sodom, Lot's wife, who turned to look back at Sodom, was killed by God for her disobediance and her yearning for her homosexual friends. Many Christians and Biblical Scholars believe the transformation of Lot's wife into a pillar of salt was a statement by God concerning his views and eventual punishment of any non-Homosexuals who endorse, sponsor, or support the Homosexual Lifestyle or agenda.
