Sodom and Gomorrah

Faith & Science Conversation

I was startled the first time I read through this:

Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

That is first, and then in second place:

They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

That maybe tells us something about God’s priorities, not that all sin isn’t sin. It is reminiscent of the massive first part of Isaiah 58 (the last part is not negligible either, though).
