I am inclined to agree with you, but verse six seems to strongly imply that when there is calamity in a city, it is God's doing.  Is that so, or not?  I have no idea why God would destroy a church house and save a gay bar, and do not know if He has totally destroyed every city that He punished.  I am looking for some consistancy here and am having a hard time finding it.  I hate it when there is something I don't know.  There were only six things I did not know, now there are seven.  Makes me wonder if there could even possibly be eight!

I would really like to understand your thinking. Terry
