Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for being so sinful and disobeying God.  And yet today, after all what has happened & happening, we're still here. I know its hard to relate that time frame to today, but I would have to say we're way more sinful than those people at that time.

If you believe in God, has it ever come over you like this?  Thought about this aspect?

I guess one could say that action of "cleansing" would be at Armageddon.  But those two cities must of REALLY pissed God off.  Or maybe it was a lesson to the surrounding places.

we have no slaves, western nations (im sure youre targeting these) have democratic republics. We have equal rights for everyone. We have hundreds of charities. We have free religion, the class structure is pretty much abolished, education is 'offered' to everyone.

The dice rolls both ways.

Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for being inhospitable and straight up an evil place. The U.S. hasn't gotten that bad... YET.

Also I think I read somewhere in the Bible where God said he was going to stop interfering didn't he?... I'm really not sure but I bought a book called "The Children Are Free" and explains a lot of that stuff too.

Generally speaking, people tend to believe that following the death and resurrection of Christ, God's tended to give people multiple chances to repent, as they actually have a chance now.

Actually, I didn't think so.  While times are different, I related places in their respected times.  I'm not comparing Gomorrah to Wisconsin today, if you can understand that.  I'm relating Gomorrah in that time to Wisconsin in today's world.

Still an opinion. And the world getting better in some people's eyes =/= less sin.  Which is why Gomorrah was destroyed in the first place.
