I "referred to Sodom and Gomorrah" in my post only by including a link to my thread covering it along with 225 other links. That's not a reference, it's a footnote. Nowhere else on this thread did I or anyone mention or discuss them.
More to the point, this thread was wholly about the twelve minor prophets: that was the entire context. So, your post about S&G was out of that context, and it would have been courteous if you had simply explained why you included it. Now, I am "absurd" and unwelcoming, for innocently requesting clarification. I just wondered what your point was in posting about S&G on a post about the minor prophets: I was trying to understand you.
I do welcome comments about every aspect of Bible art; two days ago another poster responded on the Noah's Ark thread--not about that thread, but directly on it. That is another option for commenters.

Yet you expressed no objection to a picture of two mermaid-type creatures of Chester Cathedral.
All relevant to Biblical themes and art. No copyright either.
But this protest has worked out for the good of me finding even more paintings of Biblical themes by the exceptional Martin.
The_Plains_of_Heaven:
Paradise, Adam and Eve
:The Assuaging of the Waters
The Seventh Plague
Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still
Destruction of Tyre
The Great Day of His Wrath
The Last Judgement
Consistent with the theme of Divine judgment he also has the Destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum
