It's been said that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing to do with sex; that those cities were smote because the people who lived there were inhospitable.
In other words, they were greedy bastards who refused to share their food and homes with travelers who might need a little hospitality.
All fine and good, but it's still more fun to pretend Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because the citizens were hard-partying sluts. Makes for better visuals too. Besides, rich folks might skimp on the tithing if preachers started preaching about the evils of greed.
Party on, sinners. Party on.
