pasitheaIn Genesis, Sodom and Gomorah are destroyed because they are evil.
Here, way back towards the end of the old testament, we finally get the whole story.
16:48 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done,
she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride,
fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her
daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
16:50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me:
therefore I took them away as I saw good.
Incidentally. Sodom is NOT wiped out in Gensis. The sodomites show up several more times as a military force. They're eventually taken out by some other group. So much for God's firey wrath.
