On a side note, Sodom and Gomorrah may have been just regular places randomly obliterated by a meteor airburst similar to Tunguska.

As the inhabitants of an ancient Middle Eastern city now called Tall el-Hammam went about their daily business one day about 3,600 years ago, they had no idea an unseen icy space rock was speeding toward them at about 38,000 mph (61,000 kph).

Flashing through the atmosphere, the rock exploded in a massive fireball about 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) above the ground. The blast was around 1,000 times more powerful than the Hiroshima atomic bomb. The shocked city dwellers who stared at it were blinded instantly. Air temperatures rapidly rose above 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius). Clothing and wood immediately burst into flames. Swords, spears, mudbricks and pottery began to melt. Almost immediately, the entire city was on fire.

Some seconds later, a massive shockwave smashed into the city. Moving at about 740 mph (1,200 kph), it was more powerful than the worst tornado ever recorded. The deadly winds ripped through the city, demolishing every building. They sheared off the top 40 feet (12 m) of the 4-story palace and blew the jumbled debris into the next valley. None of the 8,000 people or any animals within the city survived their bodies were torn apart and their bones blasted into small fragments.

About a minute later, 14 miles (22 km) to the west of Tall el-Hammam, winds from the blast hit the biblical city of Jericho. Jericho's walls came tumbling down and the city burned to the ground.

If you read the article, it also mentions how the surrounding area may have been salted by splashing from the Dead Sea due the massive explosion. All in all it's very interesting and incredible to think that this sort of thing can happen out of nowhere (and apparently has). Similar events happen about every century or so, they just don't (historically) impact populated areas because of the relative sparseness of human settlement.

But back to Sodom and Gomorrah...

It's possible that an oral description of the city's destruction may have been handed down for generations until it was recorded as the story of Biblical Sodom. The Bible describes the devastation of an urban center near the Dead Sea stones and fire fell from the sky, more than one city was destroyed, thick smoke rose from the fires and city inhabitants were killed.

Could this be an ancient eyewitness account? If so, the destruction of Tall el-Hammam may be the second-oldest destruction of a human settlement by a cosmic impact event, after the village of Abu Hureyra in Syria about 12,800 years ago. Importantly, it may the first written record of such a catastrophic event.

---

Considering the airburst would have been a 15 megaton blast that wasn't repeatable by humans for another 3500 years, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibly that the Bronze Age cultures in the area attributed it to an act of God and assumed you must have ****ed up pretty bad to bring that down on you. Over time, the story is added, similar to how every culture develops its own mythology to explain the unexplainable, because people don't like not having explanations for events like that.

Why do women put up with this?

How many years before pretty much every meaningful record in Women's sports is held by a man?

Our country is certainly facing God's judgement in real time. God's thoughts, to put it in our own words, must be "play stupid games win stupid prizes". This is what a country which has turned its back on God looks like. May God help us because no one will be coming to our rescue when the time comes. I do not see how we turn this ship around.

To be honest though, in the non-armed forces "uniformed services" (think NOAA is the other one?), what can they possibly do to earn a real decoration/ribbon? Paper shuffling above and beyond the call of duty?

I posted the following information on another thread. Levine's personal lifestyle isn't the damning aspect of this, the most damning is she is a murderer in my humble opinion.
Seems appropriate for this Presidential administration:

Rachel Levine murderer former
Pennsylvania Health Secretary
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/mar/23/biden-ignores-levines-nursing-home-scandal-touts-t/

Quote:

---

Dr. Levine, Pennsylvania's former health secretary signed an order on March 18, 2020, for the state's nursing homes to accept patients who previously had or were hospitalized with the coronavirus. The decision led to more than 12,000 senior deaths, accounting for more than half of Pennsylvania's total.
Days before Dr. Levine signed her nursing home directive, she took her 95-year-old mother out of a personal care home, after she was notified of residents nearby who tested positive for the coronavirus.

Dr. Levine is a murderer on the level of Gov. Cuomo.

I guess congratulations are in order for the Democratic Party leadership.

late LATE term abortion...so that makes it OK.

Well that would require ex post facto reasoning and a human interpretation and assumption of the will of God, so I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one from a logical and theological perspective. It's a bit too much of a Puritanical interpretation of the world, where all events no matter how big or small are not simply random occurrences but instances of God's judgement, that I'm just not willing to buy into. That's like saying people get cancer or their family member dies because they weren't living purely enough when no person is ever free from sin. It's witch hunt level reasoning and an intellectually lazy way to deal with the fact that some things just happen and are outside of our personal control and influence. Don't blame or credit people or God for the inherent randomness of the universe and what happens to out for them, just ask for God's help in dealing with them and embracing the fact that most things are well outside of anyone's control.

ETA Hell, you might as well be following the Joel Osteen model of faith where God rewards and punishes with worldly goods and happiness, as if this life and it's rewards or pleasures were somehow as much or more important than the eternal one. It would make much more sense logically and theologically for the world to be a completely random sequence of events for every individual to give an opportunity to judge how they choose to behave in any given set of circumstances and judge their average character as a human being.

So, paper shuffling above and beyond the call of duty, then.

All of this gender and sexual preference marketing makes me mentally picture what every persons man/lady bits look like and what they actually like to do in the bedroom. Are there any four star admirals that are uncut and like getting pegged by Pringles can sized strap ons? Really makes you think.

Anything they can do to poke conservatives, or America for that matter, in the eye, they'll do.

hmmmmm......

I disagree. All it requires is to believe the Bible, which specifically says God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah in judgement for their wickedness.

I agree there are a plethora of things where people say "it's all God's plan, even if we don't understand it", but this doesn't fall into that category. The Bible says this is why that happened, and I choose to believe that over someone trying to explain an extremely rare natural occurrence as the judgement of God.
