Why do you call Lot good? no one is good except God.
Fornication = unmarried, unapproved, and/or "casual" sex.
Going after strange flesh = rape? Angel rape? Gay rape? Virgin daughters of Lot rape? Raping anyone who came to town on visit?
I mean, doesn't it even cross your mind that you could be mistaken about the lesson of S&G?
The fact that Lot thought offering his daughters to the crowd makes it pretty plain that the Bible wasn't suggesting the crowd were homosexuals. They were rapists. It is common knowledge in the field of criminology that rapists, especially child molesters, care far more about power and control than they do about the gender of their victims. It's one of the reasons so many men are raped in the military, by otherwise "straight" soldiers, in addition to the women who are attacked.
Why is the lesson there not, "God burned cities where the society/culture of those cities thought that sexual assault was okay?"
All the cities in existence sinned but God destroyed those two cities specifically, and it's because they committed that particular sin - going after strange flesh. the lesson is that God hates that sin a lot.

Not being perfect does not mean being a sinner. Learn to show more respect to yourself.
according to the bible sin is what ruins our perfection. I have respect for myself. I realize my flaws.
