Sodom and Gomorrah as an Example?

And what about Peter's declaration in 2 Peter 2:6 that "...turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly..."? Sodom and Gomorrah was to serve as an example and yet we boldly glamorize and seek to legalize homosexuality with no shame or remorse in the pretense of love and tolerance and non-judgment of all people. We DON'T judge people by the color of their skin or their gender, but we DO judge actions! Do we allow premeditated murder? Why is it okay to discriminate against murderers? Do we allow incest or pedophilia? Why is it okay to discriminate against pedophiles? Homosexual behavior is not to be encouraged or promoted, but like any indulgence in any kind of sexual immorality, it should be resisted. "Flee sexual immorality" says 1 Corinthians 6:18. Our God said Sodom and Gomorrah was to serve as an example, but we think we can just ignore Him and not suffer any consequences? We support candidates who will see to it that we become Sodom and Gomorrah and we cheer them on? Not to mention the most innocent blood shed in our land which God several times warned against and also made examples of what would happen to those who shed innocent blood. Yet we think we can rationalize that, too. We will see the wrath of God if we continue in this direction! I think that is why so many seem so blinded; I believe hearts are hardened and we are on our path to destruction. Lord, please have mercy on us, although I know we don't deserve it!
