Ever wonder what they were doing in the wicked Dead Sea twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah before the space ships attacked?
These biblical sites -- where we get the English words sodomy and gonorrhea -- were not so much "Anything Goes" gay towns like our Hollywood and New York.
We explore the idea that one of the worst crimes in these depraved metropolises was the widespread abuse of "aliens." But they were up to other things, too: using pharmaceuticals (poisons), a practice misleadingly translated as "sorcery" by Bible scholars and more.
Ancient aliens?
The Book of Deuteronomy lists categories of people who are needy in Christian/Jewish terms: aliens, orphans, and widows. Ancient law in Israel (not the make believe place claimed by violent invaders who use ancient texts to rationalize their misappropriation in the name of their tribal God) dictates that Israelites assist women whose husbands had died since such loss generally resulted in impoverishment.
But what about the reference to “aliens” (NRSV translation)? The original Hebrew refers to foreigners or “strangers” (KJV). An ancient alien Israel was a non-Israelite living (“sojourning”) in Israel -- or anyone living in among another tribe). Such foreigners would have been dependent on land owning natives for wages/sustenance. Only Israelites could inherit land, which could not be bought or sold.
What would racist Sheriff Arpaio or Gov. Romney do about immigrants in Arizona? If Romney says Pres. Obama is a Muslim, is he suggesting he himself is a true "Israelite" (according to biblical definition, not modern residency)? What does the Bible demand be done for the sake of foreign “aliens”? Just as it was illegal to oppress orphans and widows, it was illegal to mistreat foreigners (Exodus 22:21-22). There should be no distinction between the alien and the native (Numbers 15:14-16). Aliens get God’s blessings like native Israelites (Ezekiel 47:21-23). They share in the covenant with the tribal Jewish God as well (Deuteronomy 29:10-12).
The most compelling thing about the world's aliens, all of whom are illegal, is that European immigrants didn't bother to ask or check with North America’s native population. Like modern Zionists, they just invaded, occupied, committed genocide, then settled the territory anew. So we might exhibit more compassion (or consider reparations). The Bible agrees with an empathic approach:
This is how one culture dealt with the serious issue of aliens in our midst, ancient immigration. At the root of the immigration issue in modern America is poverty. So long as the CIA and more clandestine agencies continue to destabilize sovereign countries, it will continue to be an issue. As the world financial situation worsens (by design), we can only expect it to worsen until we are all at each other's necks.
Prior to the destruction, Abraham bargains with God(s) not to destroy the cities, even though neither he nor his people live in them (except a nephew) . Abraham stands up for their cause with very little self-interest because of the possibility that there are good, decent people living there.

To hear the God(s) of the Christian Bible tell it -- rather than the conservatives and Republicans -- the real problem was the mistreatment of aliens.
Did either the Middle Eastern bodhisattva (Jesus/Issa), his God father, or the Bible favor poverty? Of course not. The Vatican and panhandling Protestant ministers may want Christians to think so. But the example the West's most famous prophet gave was to eat and live like birds (Matt 13:1-23), who live abundantly and do not worry (Matt 6:24-34; Luke 12:24-27), instead taking necessities and life as they come.

“You shall not wrong or oppress a resident alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt” (Exodus 22:21).
“You shall not oppress a resident alien; you know the heart of an alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt” (Exodus 23:9).
“You shall also love the alien for you were aliens in the land of Egypt” (Deuteronomy 10:19).
Space gods (like YHWH) claim the land, and who are humans to argue with superior firepower as taught to them by their gods and idols and governments? We are at best tenants, at worst interlopers:
“The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine [God]; with me [God] you are but aliens and tenants” (Leviticus 25:23).
“For we are aliens and transients before you [God], as were all our ancestors [from space]; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope” (1 Chronicles 29:15).
“Hear my prayer, O Lords [plural], and give ear to my cry; do not hold your peace at my tears. For I am your passing guest, an alien, alike all my forebears” (Psalm 39:12).

People who oppose gay marriage and homosexuality “on religious grounds” often appeal to the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah in support of their beliefs. The truth is the space Gods of the Bible destroyed these towns because they practiced “sorcery” (dispensing pharmaceuticals), bad karma (actions), and sexual acts the space geneticists found “abominable.”
The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was because they did not show hospitality to space aliens -- the "angels" (messengers) of God sent to determine whether or not there were 10 righteous individuals in the city on whose behalf God could spare the cities in accordance with an agreement the gods made with Abraham. Angels who appeared as strange humans were met with hospitality by only one man. God's lesson was not anti-gay; it was anti-inhospitality to aliens.
Prior to the destruction, Abraham bargains with God(s) not to destroy the cities, even though neither he nor his people live in them (except a nephew) . Abraham stands up for their cause with very little self-interest because of the possibility that there are good, decent people living there.If the money devoted to building security walls ("fences") -- manning check points, bulldozing homes, misappropriating ancient lands and homesteads, stealing water, patrolling, imprisoning, torturing, disappearing, starving, writing anti-immigrant laws, and violating the civil rights of Palestinians and aliens in America, many of who in both cases are indigenous peoples, were instead spent on helping aliens, not only would everyone's lives be improved, our charity would have the added benefit of fixing the immigration problem.
