Sodom and Gomorrah were cities that were destroyed for their immoral behaviour. Christianity says its because of their sexual immorality but Judaism says its because of their antisocial behaviour (ie treating outsiders and visitors without respect).
It was both

Exactly, then why not allow it? Eventually it will be allowed and eventually many years from now Christianity will become obsolete when scientists prove the Universe was not created by a superior being.
That will never happen. Saying that the whole solar system was made by a big bang out of pure chance is like saying I can break a watch, put it in a bag, and shake it up, and open it with the chance of it being completely repaired and on time.

close, but no cigar. You're talking about the tower of Babel (babel=babylon). According to the bible, the people there wanted to build a tower to declare war on god. So he caused them all to speak different languages which caused them all manner of problems. The tower-building ended when they all declared war on each other
close, but no cigar actulley I will now quote from the holy book
"And they said, 'Come, let us build us a city and a tower with its top in the sky, to make a name for ourselves; else we shall be scattered all over the world'."

They wanted to be close to god which is one of the reasons, and also cause they didn't want to be seperated

"And the LORD saw what they were doing and said 'They have a common toungue and this is how they act? Come, let us go down and mix up their language so they shall be split.' So the LORD went down and scattered their language and called the land Babel, for he had confused their language"

It does not say that they declared war after that but war just comes like the snow and rain



don't mess wit me, I'm Jewish
