    HBO needs to make an old testament series. I need a GoT budget thrown at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, after at least half an hour of truely understanding their wickedness.

      The “wickedness” of Sodom is described as:

      Ezekiel 16:49–50: “This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty, and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them when I saw it.”

      later prophetic reproaches of Sodom and Gomorrah do not condemn, implicate, or even mention homosexual conduct as the reason for the cities’ destruction: instead assigning the blame to other sins, such as adultery, dishonesty,[48] and uncharitableness.

      So… pretty much America?
