Reason for fall of Sodom

About a week ago I started reading a book, titled, Revolution in World Missions. I do have to say that the book is very compelling. I have a new view on missionary work because of it, but that is irrelivant in this class. The reason this book comes up for a topic is because of what it mentions about the destruction of Sodom. It states how much like Sodom we are here in America. I didn't have the right answer while twiddling my thumbs in class, trying to come up with an answer.
The reason for Sodom's destruction is actually found in Ezekiel chapter 16! We often overlook these little pieces in scripture. It states, "Now this is the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy" (16:50 NIV). When I look closer at this it makes a lot more sense if I analyze it closely. Compared to our own culture, Sodom is nearly alike. We have the same sexual problems running rampant (as the bible would put them), as well as a lack of belief in a one, true God. We are the most well fed nation on the planet and we aren't very giving with that wealth. It makes so much sense how we have become just like Sodom.

This was just one of those side notes, but it was also an interesting factoid to learn that applies to class.
