Guilty or Not Guilty? WHAT about Sodom and Gomorrah? (PART 2)

This is PART 2 of the "Guilty or not Guilty" series..If you haven't read part 1 "Who's an abomination now" I strongly suggest that you go read it before you begin here.....

"I know homosexuality is wrong! I mean just look at what God did to Sodom and Gomorrah!" 

Have you ever stopped for a moment and asked yourself, "Why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah?" I used to think the same thing that you're probably thinking now... because of homosexuality... But if you dig a little deeper and look beyond the surface you will find that it wasn't homosexuality at all. 

“As I live,” says the Lord God, “neither your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done.  Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit.--Ez 16:48-50

This verse clearly states that Sodom's sins were:

1) Gluttony (carried out at your local buffet)

2) Laziness (uh oh!)

3) Pride (how much did you pay for those shoes, nails, car etc)

4)  They didn't help the needy (did you just walk past a homeless man)

5) They were haughty (which sums up the previous sins) 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

6) They committed abomination (uh hello it was right next to the sea, THEY must have been eating shellfish DUH (-:jk:-) 

NOT one time does this say, "God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because they were gay."

READ THEM FOR YOURSELF!!!!
