From Ezekiel 16
Bible god punished the people of Sodom because they didn't help the poor.
Have you actually read Genesis 19 in its entirety?
2 Peter 2:7-8
7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless 8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—
"Depraved conduct"? Is that how we normally refer to indifference to the poor?
Sodom's offenses before God were MANY. Homosexuality was only part of the problem.
Your problem is with your holy book not me. Ezekiel plainly states that the people of Sodom didn't help the poor.
