The story of Sodom and Gomorrah begins with three angels visiting Abraham. They came disguised as men, and two of them went to the city of Sodom and Gomorrah to explore the wickedness they had heard of. The third angel was the Lord, and he revealed to Abraham that he was going to destroy the city, but Abraham tried to bargain with the Lord by telling him to save the city if righteous people lived there. When the two angels arrived in the city the next day, they met Abraham's nephew, Lot, who took them into his house and fed them. That night, all the men in town surrounded the house and demanded that the two men, aka the angels, come out and have sex with them. Lot would not allow it-he even offered his virgin daughters up-but the men threw Lot aside and entered the house. The angels blinded the men, and hurried Lot, his wife, and his daughters out of the city so that they would be spared from the Lord's wrath. Once they fled to Zoar, God rained burning sulfur down on Sodom and Gomorrah, wiping out every living thing. Lot's wife looked back at the destruction and was turned into a pillar of salt. After this, Lot and his two daughters moved to a cave up in the mountains. The daughters realized that there was no one to help them keep their family tree growing, so they got their father very drunk and became impregnated with sons by him.
Life isn't fair. It's has never been, and it never will be. People are wrongly accused of things all the time whether they have big or small ramifications. I don't God is the only one who has wrongly punished someone. Teachers, parents, friends all do it too; we are just used to it.
