I have to agree. Sodom was pretty bad even by today’s standards.

The danger risks becoming that kind of avalanche when it completely controls the political sphere, and we get a “men of the city” situation. That’s one of the most ominous phrases to me in the account.

By that point, even the “Abrahamic bargain” will have failed. And it was a generous bargain: If a mere 10 righteous men (meaning they believed in God for salvation) were left, the city would be spared.

The church often shows its best under pressure, however. A church that’s just a religious society “trying to get along in the world” won’t do all that well, but one which will cry out to God for salvation, that knows that it’s weak (but that God is strong) will find salvation. We can’t just politically push back or even mostly politically push back. We must spiritually push back. We must understand the spiritual dynamics of the problem and, in the Lord, provide credible havens for salvation.
