Sodom
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. 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 and their wicked, soul destroying lifestyle.
