Sodom and Gomorrah

One day, God appeared to Abraham as three men and Abraham welcomed him/them into his home and fed him. As they were leaving, God confided in Abraham that the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were so sinful that He was going to destroy them. Abraham asked Him not to, pleading if he could find at least fifty… no forty-five… (etc) no ten, that God would not destroy the cities. That night, two angels went to visit Sodom and stayed in Lot’s home. All of the sudden, all of the men in the city came and asked Lot to bring out the two men so that they could sleep with him. Lot instead offered up his two virgin daughters to sleep with the mob, who all weren’t too happy with the consolation. The angels pulled Lot back into his home, blinded the mob, and urged him to gather his family and leave the city, as it was going to be destroyed by God. Lot, his wife, and his daughters left the city; as his wife looked back at their home, she was turned into a pillar of salt. Lot and his daughters camped out in a cave and his older daughter decided that because there weren’t any men to give them children, they should sleep with their father. So for two consecutive nights, they get their father drunk and are impregnated by him.

Gee, that was heavy. Anyways. Unfair punishments are so not cool. They’re actually kind of the worst kind. But in my case, I usually walk myself into that trap because I’m stubborn and I back talk and then it makes my parents extra mad, so it’s really my fault that I got an unfair punishment. Still though, it’s rough. Kind of. I feel like there are a lot more unfair nonpunishments than punishments in some cases. Oh, you know a guy who knows a guy? No biggie, here, have a stern look and a cookie! That’s always annoying.
