And what do you do if rehab fails?

God put Sodom into rehab also. It failed.

Does a father kick out all of his children because his oldest son is addicted to drugs? That is Sodom and Gomorrah.

Someone once warned me against throwing out the baby with the bathwater...

Also, there is a big difference between kicking a kid out of the house and killing the kid(s), which is what happened at Sodom and Gomorrah.


What if all your kids were addicted to drugs and incorrigible. That is Sodom and Gomorrah.

What if destroying S&G (incorrigible group) was the catalyst to save billions?

Um. Okay, I don't believe the Sodom story, but for the sake of argument.

CFR that god put Sodom into rehab and that it failed for the entire population, including children, disabled, mentally impaired, cows, chickens and puppies.

And I would say if laws are being broken prison would be the answer. The more humane answer.

As an example to save a billion of your other children. yes. In fact God didn't just recommend it. He did it. The whole fire and brimstone thing.
