Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19)


In the story of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19) the story starts out with two angels appearing before Lot and said that they wanted to have sex with the angels. Lot said no but offered them his two virgin daughters. The angels then warned Lot to escape with his family because Sodom will soon be destroyed. When they were leaving his wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt Once they were safe the daughters realized they had no males to carry on the family name with and slept with their father. 

I guess everyone has their own viewpoints on what unfair treatment is but I think that it is when someone is either wrongfully punished or punished too severely for a crime. You can see this happen all the time especially in the walls of schools (including Henry Clay) and is obviously hard to judge. However, I feel that punishment is also a very needed way of keeping civilization in line.
