Evidently you are unaware of or disbelieve that Soddom and Gomorrah were obliterated by God with fire from Heaven . . . a rather localized geographic site. There were many such examples in the Old Testament.

You need a few days at the beach or something...

I do believe that that area around the Dead Sea, that in ancient times was known as Sodom and Gomorrah not only existed, but was destroyed...but these early bible fables were written by sandal wearing sheep herders to try to explain the devastation(one of the latest thoughts was possibly a space rock) and perhaps to explain the many pillars of salt the dot the coast of the Dead Sea there..

no more....most Christian Churches and most Jewish sects consider it to be no more than that..
