The biblical story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is an interesting one. One day, three men came to Abraham with a message that god was going destroy the city's because they were full of sin. Abraham asked if they could find, it started at fifty and was negotiated down, ten good men, could the cities be saved? The Lord said yes. On their search for these men they end up at Abraham's cousin, Lot's, house. Here, Lot's unknown visitors save Lot by blinding some men, Lot realizes that they are angels not ordinary people. Lot was told to flee the city and take his family without looking back. One of the women in Lot's family did and therefore was turned to a pillar of salt. Not finding the ten men they needed, the cities were destroyed as well.
There is a lot of unfair punishment in the world which is not good. People and societies often strive for justice and proper punishments for actions but it varies from place to place based on people's values.
