While stuck in jail, for lack of other ways to pass the time I began to read the bible. Genesis is FILTHY! Anyway, I was really wondering, there's a scene before the Lord strikes down Sodom where God and Abraham have a discussion. It goes like this :
God : I am going to kill people of Sodom unless there are 50 good people in it.
Abraham : What about 40?
God : Ok 40
Abraham : What about 30?
God : Ok 30
Abraham : What about 10?
God : OK 10

I just don't get it. What's it all about?

I believe the point of the little exchange was that there weren't ANY good people in Sodom.

Also, what were you in jail for?

Anyone else see the humor in reading about the destruction of Sodom in jail?

Sodom sounds like a fun place.
