Well, I guess if they were all homosexual there weren't any. But then the city would have died out eventually.
I'm sure that frodo will be along soon saying that the bible meant that god gave then chocolate ice creams
The unforgivable sin still feels wrong to me though. The ex-christian in me is shouting : "no, you will not go to hell for that."
The atheist in me knows that you won't go to hell (well, at least not the Christian hell)
:-) Thanks for your encouragement. I am slowly working my way through Genesis. My close friend found out that I was Atheist and he has been a guide through my Christian walk so he was shocked.
Needless to say we spent ours on end debating Christianity - His father is a Minister/Pastor so he knows apologetic. When I pulled him on stuff he said 'Prove It'. That's difficult when I don't have half the understanding of the bible of him.
Hey who said there were children in Sodom and Gomorah - God would never harm innocent Children even though in earlier Genesis he said that all Children are born evil!.
What I never Got is why was God so pissed half the time! So far all I see is a God who is unfair and who is Best Pals with Abraham who married his Sister? like seriously and people say what Sodom and Gomorah were doing was bad.
Iasaic's two daughters slept with him!
