I don't have anything to add to the religion discussion.
Totally off topic: Anyone in the LA area (Valley specifically) ever use a pet-sitting service that they liked? I need one that'll administer fluids to my cat, too.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
but I can't resist getting on my tippy toes to look over the fence at other people's.
I love this image of ita's little blonde head peeping over the fence.

Also off-topic but wholly natter: As soon as I saw Gloomcookie's name, my iPod served up the Geraldine Fibbers' "The Small Song."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Agreed that the discussion is fascinating, and I wish I had some beliefs to be able to take part in it. I really don't, I'm areligious. Enjoying the spicy good reading.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Speaking specifically of Sodom, in Genesis 18, Abraham asks God repeatedly "Would you kill the righteous with the wicked?" and he keeps asking God "What if there were 50 righteous people?" and God says "No, if there are 50 righteous people, I'll spare Sodom," so Abraham asks "What about 40?" "What about 30?" etc. And each time, God says, If I find righteous people there, then I will spare Sodom.
But God didn't find any righteous people in Sodom, and so he wiped it out. He checked first; he didn't just arbitrarily wipe out good folks along with the bad folks.
Sodom's potential corrupting influence on the tribe of Israel was too great, and God's primary motive through the OT is to protect Israel, because it's from that tribe that the Messiah was prophesied to come.
