text: You are putting God's words on the lips the Levites of Babylon.  Those numerous entries are people quoting them.  The story of Sodom is a fairy tale about what happened to the cities, not a contemporaneous account.  Jesus was very clear about tragedies not happening as punishment from God.  I wrote a column about it.  As for the cry to Heaven for vengeance, I agree that pederasty surely does, which is why the modern hierarchy is doomed.  You conflate consensual sodomy by adults with the rape of children.  Only the latter demands vengeance.  Try some perspective with that does of self-righteousness.  God gives commands for our good, not to feed his own ego.  Why would He create a whole gender type of people and demand they not have sexuality?  He instead created asexuals for that niche.  Their challenge is to have charity for everyone else. They have done a lousy job of loving their neighbor.
