If it's evil to disobey god, then I'll just have to be evil.
They were totally evil people who received judgement for their crimes, but they were to be redeemed eventually by Christ for eternity. They were removed because they were actively trying to prevent the coming of that savior. Also, I believe that their deaths were much easier than a huge percentage of christian followers' deaths right now.
How could they "actively trying prevent" the coming of a savior they'd never heard of?
Jesus said if they'd seen the miracles done in Israel they would have repented. So in his superior wisdom, god punished people he knew would have repented and gave his word to people he knew would not keep it. How are you goingto shoehorn justice into this?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
