We all are a lot like Lot

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah are as much a myth as the story of Bethlehem. The story exists for the student of Christ to look deeper into it's meaning.

For example, we all are a lot like Lot. Let's say that a father of a family has a smoking problem. Well, the cigarette becomes his Sodom and Gomorrah. The father loves God, but he also likes smoking. As a result, the second hand smoke can hurt his children (Lot tries to gives his virgin daughters to the people to protect the Angles) and influence his children to become smokers when they become adults (His daughters got there father drunk so they could get pregnant {idea they learned in Sodom and Gomorrah}).

The story depicts how important the fathers is to the family. His choices can have profound affects on the family.

Moreover, Lot's wife turns to salt when she looks back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The act of looking back is like looking back into your own past. If you live in the past you become a pillar of salt.

The fact that she turned to salt rather than any other substance may reflect the salt of the Dead sea. There is no life in the Dead Sea, thus, if you live in the past, you will have know life. We must live for today (as Jesus said), and enjoy God's gift for tomorrow.
I could keep going on, but the bottom line is Sodom and Gomorrah exist and was documented for many different reason. Only God knows why....
