    Oh, good Lord. If you would stop interpreting the Bible literally, you might just avoid a stroke. Besides, the OT is for the Jews and we interpret it differently. Christians should read it at their own risk.

    According to Jeremiah 18, God can do whatever he wants to with his human creation. He can kill them at will. Take for example the time he killed 70,000 men to punish King David for taking an illegal census.

    The story is for didactic purposes. What Robdar said.

    Tikkun olam lies in our own hands.

    The cruelty of Sodomites and the mercy of Abraham are contrasted.

    God was created in ancient man's image. Glad I live in this era.
