When the insane "God" of the Old Testament told Lot and his family to flee Sodom and Gomorrah...and warned them not to look back....doesn't it sound interestingly like nuclear annihilation? Maybe something worse that we humans haven't thought up yet?
I think that Sodom & Gomorrah was an experiment in why The Elders created religion for us.
Look at the example. The Bible says that S&G was a terrible place with a lot of terrible people. The words used these days is "homosexuals, rapists, murderers and idolators". So what if this was a test to see if humanity could exist without morals? This almost goes hand in hand with my rant about religion....that we NEED religion as a society in order to have feelings of "guilt" so that most of us will be afraid to commit heinous crimes. Obviously not ALL of us....but most have a little voice inside that says, "Don't do that or you'll go to Hell"...this is inherent behavior that has been taught since the beginning....just look at the example in the experiment at S&G. These were people who had no gods, no morals, no fear of retribution. Is it the fear of eternal damnation that keeps us in line? Do we HAVE to have the Great Lie about a reward in Heaven and punishment in Hell in order to co-exist?
Discuss.
