Bonkers

God staged a Mount Sodom assault On a wife whom once dared to halt* Her husband said, "Whew! What else could He do? I'm hungry, so please pass the salt!" * The hallmark of Western religions is God and Lot's "Devil-may-care" attitude toward a "nameless" wife's concern for the welfare of her daughters!

Especially when one considers the Hebrews were a matriarchal society before men learned how to write! Aloha! Rico

It amazes me that Mount Sodom's "Pillar of Salt" is still perceived as a reminder that God must be obeyed rather than as a monument to a "nameless" woman whose love for her children exceeded her fear of a jealous God. Aloha! Rico
