God appears to Abraham and Abraham makes the best meal he can to present to God. God tells Abraham that he will be back in a year's time and by the point Sarah will have a child. Sarah laughs and questions it due to her age but God is offended that she would doubt his word. Abraham is walking with God and the other men and hears God talk about how he is going to destroy the towns of Sodom and Gomorrha and Abraham questions why he should kill innocent people. God said he would spare the destruction for the lives of those people even if there were only 10 innocents.
Two angels show up at the house of Lot. Lot takes them in for the night and the townspeople are curious as to the are and try to break down Lot's house. The men blind the townspeople and tell Lot that he must take his family and get away from the city for it is about to be destroyed. When Lot and his family got to the town of Zoar, God brought lava down upon the city. Lot's wife looked back and became a pillar of salt for her disobedience.
I think unfair punishment is obviously not a good thing but it is also very hard to avoid. I honestly though don't have many other ideas on the matter because its such a complicated issue.
