S&G were NOT, I repeat NOT destroyed because of homosexual sin.  That's a 
total misinterpretation of scripture.

It was part of it without any doubt.
"49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of 
bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither 
did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty, 
and committed ABOMINATION before me: therefore I took them away as I saw 
good." Ezek 16:49-50 (KJV)

And we know full well what the "ABOMINATION" was......"22 Thou shalt not lie 
with mankind, as with womankind: it is ABOMINATION" Lev 18:22 (KJV)

It simply just could not be made more clearer.....{;o;}

The "abomination" had just been listed in the words preceding - why do you 
feel the need to cross use another verse found in a totally different 
context to make an invalid point?

Pride, laziness, ignoring the needs of those in the community, failure to 
love and care, injustice...  prejudice, insensitivity...  THAT is the 
abomination.
