"It specifically, to-the-point without exception or any wiggle room says that Sodom was destroyed because she didn't share her wealth."

That was only one in an abundance of sins. I'm not disputing that they were greedy. But my point is that modern activists want to eliminate a primary cause of God's displeasure at those cities: vice and immorality.

"You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your detestable practices, declares the LORD. " Ezekial 16:58

Last time I looked, lewdness was a sin of sexual immorality. Sodomy, after all, was so named in "honor" of the city of Sodom and it's sexual habits.

Oh, I agree with you there. I think this movement to say the only sin of Sodom was a "lack of hospitality" is utterly stupid. The only way someone could believe that is if they wanted to mold it to their own agenda.

(Random, interesting side note from a comparative religion course I took in college: the term "sodomy" actually included oral sex up until a few decades ago, even among married heterosexual couples because the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas had the church convinced for almost its entire history that all non-procreative sex was lewdness in the mold of Sodom, hence the term. In a lot of states, sodomy still referred to oral sex in the legal sense and was struck down in Lawrence v. Texas. It is interesting to me that our ancestors actually considered married couples sodomites despite the Bible not saying anything about sex between husband and wife. That's how powerful Aquinas's teachings were even among certain segments of society up through the 20th century.)
